Taylor’s partners with TraTax for regional tax conference

Taylor’s College, a premier educational institution in Malaysia, has partnered with TraTax, a leading independent tax advisory firm, to organize the Regional Tax & Investment Conference 2023. The one-day conference, scheduled for 21 March 2023 at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, aims to equip attendees with expert insights into investment trends and tax developments across the Southeast Asian region.

The conference comes at a time when there are increasingly broader cross-border trade and investment diversification trends, as well as new taxation conversations in the region, as it looks to rebound from the economic constraints of the pandemic while preemptively combating any possibility of an economic slowdown.

The event will feature 11 regional tax industry experts across the region, including representatives from Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia, who will speak about tax and investment topics from the perspective of their respective jurisdictions.

Thenesh Kannaa, Partner at TraTax, said, “The Regional Tax & Investment Conference 2023 is set to be a focal point for CFOs, C-Suite executives, entrepreneurs, and regulators alike. The industry landscape is in a flux, and there are many vital observations and important conversations to be had that could pave the way forward for businesses, the nation, and the ASEAN region as a whole.”

The conference will cover various topics, including an overview of tax considerations in cross-border investment and transactions, investment trends and requirements in the ASEAN region, regional tax developments, global minimum tax and sustainability, 2023 Malaysian Budget tax updates, and regional indirect tax updates.

Expert speakers include Wim Wuyts, CEO of WTS Global; Eugene Lim, Co-founder and Principal of Taxise LLC, Singapore; Fulvio D. Dawilan, Managing Partner of BDB Law Office, Philippines; Mark Fancellu, Director of Accounting at BlueRock, Australia; Till Morstadt, Managing Partner of Lorenz & Partners Co. Ltd., Thailand; Tomy Harsono, Partner of Consulthink, Indonesia; Julien Tran, Managing Director of WTS Vietnam; Dato Sri Subromaniam Tholasy, Special Advisor for TraTax and former Director General of the Royal Malaysian Customs, Ahmad Khairuddin Abdul Rahim, Special Advisor for TraTax and former Deputy CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Renganathan Kannan, Partner at TraTax and Thenesh Kannaa, Partner at TraTax.
