ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Join us for the 2024 edition of the Indirect Tax & VAT Summit, where we tackle the monumental challenges facing the Indirect Tax & VAT function in today’s volatile environment. As regulations continuously evolve on national and international fronts, staying compliant becomes an ever-pressing concern.
One of the summit’s focal points is the imperative to modernize tax processes and systems. Through heightened digitization and the integration of AI, ERP and other technologies, the VAT function strives to enhance transparency and accessibility of tax data, reducing susceptibility to evasion.
In the backdrop of the EU’s ambitious efforts to harmonize tax systems and establish a Single VAT Area, practical complexities abound. And not only, there will be important insights, into e-invoicing, real time reporting, sustainability and other taxes and many more. Our summit provides a platform to address these challenges head-on, fostering dialogue and problem-solving among industry leaders and solution providers.
This dynamic in-person event convenes indirect tax pioneers and experts from global corporations, offering a unique opportunity to exchange insights, share best practices, and optimize the efficiency and performance of VAT and Indirect Tax functions worldwide.
