International Tax Issues 2019 | Practising Law Institute (PLI) | 4 September 2019 | Gleacher Center, 450 Cityfront Plaza Dr, Chicago, IL 60611, USA

Why You Should Attend?
As the world’s economies grow increasingly integrated through trade, acquisitions and joint ventures, U.S. international tax laws impact a greater percentage of businesses and transactions. These international tax rules affect not only large U.S. and non-U.S. based multinationals, but also increasingly affect mid-sized and smaller organizations and investors, financing transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and other commercial activity. A working knowledge of these international tax rules is of paramount importance to a wide variety of tax professionals.

At this year’s program we will assemble some of the world’s leading experts and senior government officials to discuss the complex rules of U.S. international taxation in light of the 2017 Tax Act. We will focus upon both operational and transactional implications of these rules, and will describe the application of the rules to both U.S. and non-U.S. based organizations and investors.

Who Should Attend?
Law firm and accounting firm professionals who advise clients on structuring cross border transactions, and on international tax planning and controversy matters; in-house tax professionals involved in cross-border and internal planning, in FIN 48 determinations and in IRS audits and appeals of international issues; and government attorneys who want to stay on top of what’s happening in the international tax arena will benefit from attending this program.
