UNSW Business School 14th International Tax Administration Conference

UNSW Business School to host 14th International Tax Administration Conference   

UNSW Business School will host the prestigious 14th International Tax Administration Conference on the 23 and 24 November 2021 in Sydney, NSW.

Bringing together leading tax administrators, academics, and practitioners from around the globe, the conference will hear from leading administrators, professionals and thought leaders presenting in a mix of online and in-person on the event theme: 'New Frontiers in Tax Administration'.  

With insights being showcased from across the world, the event will be an opportunity for those in the business of taxation to discuss current and future global taxation trends, technological advances in taxation, and how these have changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and related stimulus packages.  

"The way the world does business is changing rapidly,” says Chris Jordan, Commissioner of Taxation at the Australian Tax Office (ATO), and one of the headline speakers. “That means traditional tax administration systems need to evolve to stay ahead of the game.”  

“[The 14th International Tax Administration Conference] is a great way for us to share thoughts on what is required for the future.”  

Naomi Ferguson, Commissioner and Chief Executive of the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department, and fellow conference speaker says:  

“Conferences such as this provide a collaborative platform to talk about and reflect on the important issues, we as a tax community share,” she says. “Here in New Zealand, Inland Revenue continues to play a significant role in our government’s pandemic response.”  

“Through transforming the way we do things over the last few years, we have quickly been able to respond and implement COVID support initiatives, along with our partners across the public service.”   

Practitioners, administrators, and academics are encouraged to attend and can register here.
