5th IBFD Africa Tax Symposium 2019 | IBFD | 29 May 2019 | Spier Wine Farm, R310 Baden Powell Drive, Stellenbosch, 7603, South Africa

Against the magnificent backdrop of Stellenbosch Mountain and amongst some of the most famous vineyards in the world, we look forward to covering the most discussed tax issues of today.

A change from our usual beach setting, the Hotel Spier is located in the Western Cape, conveniently situated approximately 50 km from Cape Town (15 minutes from the airport), and is one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms, steeped in history dating back to 1692.

The hottest topics in international taxation will be discussed, such as the impact of the Multilateral Instrument on bilateral tax treaties within Africa, challenges of the digital economy in an African taxation context, transfer pricing and indirect tax challenges in Africa, global exchange of information and tax transparency in the post-BEPS era, and much more.

Held over 3 days, the symposium will provide a world-class original programme accompanied by our not-to-be-missed social events. We do expect record numbers, avoid disappointment and please register as soon as possible.
