QLD Tax Forum

Published on 12 May 2022 | Took place at Brisbane, National

The 2022 Organising Committee was excited for this year’s program to begin with an overview of the ESG framework with practical insights into the business opportunities as we reopen the borders with Danielle Wood, CEO of the renowned think tank, the Grattan Institute and Ian Davies, CEO Senex Energy.

A highlight was undoubtably the thorough analysis of workforce trends and the tax, legal, HR and business impacts in our panel session led by Hayley Lock and joined by Craig Sneesby, Kara Reynolds, Nicole Smith and Rebecca Tuplin.

This years program was designed to focus on expert-led technical sessions that provided participants with a broad range of practical insights and skills to plant the seeds of growth and reap the rewards of opportunity. With sessions covering topical issues surrounding professional practices, transfer pricing, ESG and M&A Tax, governance, superannuation, state taxes, as well as a plenary session delivered by Mark Robertson, QC, CTA, on understanding and navigating Legal Professional Privilege, the Queensland Tax Forum set the scene for growth and success as we reopen business internationally.
