As the world slowly emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic and businesses plan for the future, we are delighted to announce our 2022 Middle East and South Asia (MESA) Tax Summit, which will be held in-person on 12 May 2022.
Our engaging and interactive program comprises insightful presentations and panel discussions and intimate group discussions, which will support and prepare tax and finance leaders across the region as they consider the future of their tax, finance, and business strategies.
We are joined by thought-provoking guest speakers, industry experts and KPMG specialists who will cover:
- The future of tax across the MESA region and globally
- Tax technology and data management
- Corporate tax, transfer pricing and indirect taxes
The summit is envisaged to provide delegates with fresh insight and diverse perspectives on the economic, geopolitical, and regulatory macrotrends affecting business organizations and the world of tax. The event will also be a platform to gain a greater understanding of these issues and opportunities to be more agile and resilient.
