Published on 25 Feb 2004 | Took place at Sheraton on the Park, Sydney, International
The comprehensive technical world tax program, delivered by leading experts in their field from around the globe, provided relevant international tax advice and is sure to be the leading practical tax event of its nature.
Countries around the world have undertaken or are in the throes of undertaking tax reform. Accentuated by recent announcements in the US of significant tax reform initiatives, it has become apparent that in this age of globalisation every country needs to learn from each other. The 2004 World Tax Conference looked at trends in tax reform, tax administration with particular emphasis on combating tax avoidance, the Revenue and adviser issues.
