The fiscal revolution. Romania in European context

Bucharest, Hotel Radisson Blu | October 3rd, 2018

This year edition is dedicated to the fiscal revolution. We are going to debate the consequences of the tax legislation changes in a local and European context. We will discuss topics such as Industry 4.0, coordination of tax policy initiatives, base erosion and profit shifting, virtual currency, as well as the challenges of the new economy.

The conference will bring together Deloitte Romania and Reff & Associates experts, as well as two guest speakers: Mr. Istvan Jakab, Economic Counselor at the EC in Romania and Mr. Iulian Stanciu, CEO and owner of eMag.

The event is structured in two parts, starting with a plenary session and continuing, after lunch, with workshops. While the plenary session is dedicated to recent tax changes in European context, workshops will address applied topics in an interactive manner.

Please note that the workshops will take place simultaneously, so you can register with only one workshop. The number of seats is limited and is allocated on the first-come-first-served rule. During the plenary session, simultaneous translation will be provided (Romanian – English).
