The ICAS Tax Conference 2017: Tax in Uncertain Times | ICAS | 23 May 2017 | Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The world of tax has never seen such uncertain times. In the UK, more and more taxes are being devolved in one of the biggest set of changes since income tax was introduced. HMRC and those who deal with them are struggling with the mammoth task of making tax digital. BEPS aims to transform the international landscape in the elusive search for a level playing field. Political indignation on tax avoidance threatens to challenge beliefs and behaviours at the very core of the tax profession, with Government in the vanguard of an attempt to make corporate taxes a moral judgement rather than one of legislative compliance. The ICAS Tax Conference 2017 will:

1. Bring you the very latest on these seismic changes at the heart of the tax profession.

2. Equip you with the knowledge you need to do your job in these uncertain times.

3. Bring you together with a like minded group of fellow professionals, facing the same challenges of change.

Keynote speakers at the conference include:

Executive Chair and Permanent Secretary, HMRC, Edward Troup and
Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution Derek Mackay MSP
