Our upcoming tax conference will highlight some of the current tax issues faced by the Central and Eastern European countries in the context of developments at EU and OECD level. The conference will provide an opportunity for presentations of national tax issues, with an emphasis on debates, so that participants can gather conclusions from the experience of other countries, which are trying to protect their tax policies and national budgets in the context of increasingly far-reaching tax harmonization measures undertaken by the EU and OECD.
The format of the conference is a specialized one with eminent speakers joining from academics and private practice from both Central and Eastern European countries: Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Belgium and The Netherlands.
Papers submitted to this conference will be published in journals indexed in international databases such as the European Business Law Journal, in the Tax Advisor Journal or in the Juridical Tribune Review
