6th Edition of IBFD and IFA LATAM Webinars on Intl. Taxation and its impact in Latin America
Throughout every Friday in September, IBFD and IFA LATAM jointly hosted the sixth edition of their annual webinar series, focusing on the most pressing issues in international taxation relevant to Latin America. Conducted entirely in Spanish, the webinars are tailored for corporate officers, legal professionals, tax authorities, finance ministry officials, judges, and academics.
This initiative began in 2020 to address the gap left by the absence of physical IFA LATAM congresses during the pandemic, has become a regular update on trending concerns in international taxation, especially those affecting Latin America.
