London Tax Conference 2019 | Exchange Ideas | 28 February 2019 | The Law Society, 113 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1PL, UK

Exchange Ideas is an international learning, training and networking platform on tax, wealth management and compliance focusing on practical matters and connecting financial advisors, family offices, lawyers, trustees, fund managers, and investors (“solution seekers”) with leading practitioners and academics in the field (“solution providers”). Exchange Ideas’ philosophy is to provide a platform that serves both ends of the relationship, by connecting members and allowing them to benefit from a leading advisory community, and to share the latest trends, knowledge, and expertise in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

In today’s tax transparent and globalized world, wealth owners and their advisors face a set of new and demanding regulatory and tax compliance challenges. Recent developments in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes have created a competitive landscape in which efficiently complying with tax laws is a key to success.

The 2019 London Tax Conference will discuss the most recent developments in UK tax law, both from a domestic and international tax law perspective. From a UK regulatory point of view, topics such as the reform to the Substantial Shareholding Exemption (SSE) and the current status of R&D tax relief will be addressed in particular. In relation to international tax matters, BEPS Actions on anti-hybrid rules, permanent establishments, transfer pricing and mandatory disclosure rules will be discussed in the light of the UK’s current tax scenario.

Finally, the Conference will conclude with two different workshops. The first one will refer to tax-compliant planning strategies for UK individuals and corporate entities and the current transparency and substance requirements. The second workshop will deal with tax planning for individuals and corporate entities but through the use of wealth management structures. The analysis will include a comparative view between the UK and selected jurisdictions: Liechtenstein, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Austria.
