Assocham to organise a conference on international tax

The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) is organising a conference on international tax on May 21-22, 2004, in New Delhi. The conference will focus on issues pertaining to taxation on cross border transactions and will comprise a series of presentations and discussions on transfer pricing, withholding taxes, filing and reporting requirements, taxation of inbound and outbound investments, expatriate taxation and taxation of export.

Senior government representatives, including the secretary, government of India, and experts from leading consultancy firms will address the conference. Advocates and heads of taxation from the corporate sector, including the central board of direct taxes, PwC, Wipro, Deloitte Haskins & Sells, Citibank, GE India, HSBC Hong Kong, KPMG, ITC, Motorola and ITAT, will also speak at the conference.

Surender Kumar Jindal, director, Jindal group of companies and chairman of the investment and capital market committee, says, “We are moving to a global world. Companies and individuals need to be aware about tax laws in their country as well as overseas. Countries are moving towards this integration by bringing their tax laws in consonance with each other. The initiative by Assocham is also a step in this direction.”
