2nd Annual Berlin Conference on EU and International Tax: "BEPS and Treaties"

27 March 2015

Time: 8:00am - 5:10pm
Venue: PriceWaterhouseCoopers AG, Potsdamer Platz 11, 10785 Berlin, Germany

The 2nd Berlin EU and International Tax Conference takes place on 27 March 2015, kindly supported by PwC AG Germany. First held in 2014, the conference builds upon the success of its predecessor and the Annual Avoir Fiscal EU Tax Conference which takes place in London each January. 

The speakers, including some of the leading international tax experts from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and other speakers from around the world, will provide an insight into the latest developments in tax law, with a particular emphasis on what is happening in practice. Our goal is to create an environment for interactive and stimulating debate between the speakers and attendees.
