IFA Malaysia welcomes you to Kuala Lumpur for the 8th Asia Pacific Regional Conference on 29-30 April 2025. The IFA Asia Pacific Regional Conference series is an annual forum for the international tax community of practitioners, policymakers, administrators and academics to engage in discussions on the most topical and emerging issues in international tax today.

​

This year's Conference presents an exciting programme that will delve into recent major developments with a profound impact in the region and worldwide. As countries seek to address challenges posed by globalization and digitalization, there has been a discernible global shift towards greater cooperation and regulation in international tax matters. ​The OECD continues to work on the implementation of its two-pillar solution aimed at addressing tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy, while some countries have implemented or proposed digital services taxes to target revenues generated by digital services.

 

There has also been a push for greater tax transparency, with many countries adopting measures to require more disclosure from corporations regarding their tax practices, including country-by-country reporting and enhanced requirements for beneficial ownership disclosure.

 

Alongside these developments, the UN is working towards a new framework convention on international tax cooperation that may represent a major shift in how international taxation is approached, and with the potential to significantly impact the architecture of global financial systems.

​​​

Don't miss the opportunity to join our panel of experts in understanding these changes and to gain valuable insights into the state of international taxation in Asia-Pacific and beyond.
