The upcoming 9th Africa Tax Symposium anticipates thought-provoking examination of crucial issues shaping the fiscal landscape. Our programme will explore international tax intricacies, analyzing recent developments and emerging issues.

During the symposium we will shine a spotlight on the pressing issues surrounding Africa’s response to the Global Minimum Tax, tax treaty and transfer pricing developments within the continent demanding adept navigation through the complexities of legislation and policy shifts. We will also discuss trade, investment, and domestic resource mobilization in Africa, exploring opportunities, obstacles, and practical perspectives pivotal for fostering economic growth. The symposium will conclude with a reflection on Africa's capacity to shape the international tax agenda in an era of evolving fiscal paradigms.

The symposium promises once again to be a crucible of thought leadership and practical insights, propelling Africa towards a more resilient and equitable tax future.
