The Tax Law Commission is happy to invite you to its first virtual Commissions Day which will be on the subject Digital taxation on the crossroads – what will be the “new normal?

Our day (afternoon) will start with a welcome address by the Tax Law Commission’s presidency, including a short update on recent developments and news in the Tax Law Commission (Commission Meeting).

 We will then enjoy a keynote speech by Barry Larking, an international tax strategist and special counsel to the IBFD, on the recent developments at the OECD level as regards digital taxation, i.e. especially on the recently released OECD blueprints on Pillars 1 and 2.

 This will be followed by a scientific panel on “How effective were national digitax initiatives so far? What is their future?” which will discuss the current status of national digitax initiatives and the experiences with such national legislation as well as the possible future of such taxes, especially in light of international (OECD) initiatives.

Thereafter, the will have two parallel round table discussions, one being on the questions “Who pays the digitax? Who benefits?” and the other addressing the subject “Server PE was yesterday – new international tax law challenges and issues with digital taxation”.

We will then enjoy a social program in the form of “walking drinks”, for which all participants are encouraged to leave their (home) office and to take a short walk outside (weather permitting) and to show each other their favourite places (bars, parks, landmarks, etc.) nearby or to show each other around their offices or homes (if they can’t or do not want to leave). 

In between the keynote speech and our scientific panel, respectively the round tables, we will have 15 minutes coffee breaks together in small groups to discuss our thought on the sessions or simply to have a chat among AIJA friends (as in the breaks of a “real conference”).
