Our current tax systems are struggling to keep up with key megatrends such as climate change, new business models, ageing demographics, and mobile taxpayers.

In line with our project Sustainable tax systems and the responses we received to it, Accountancy Europe invites leaders in taxation to share their views on the changes necessary to make tax systems greener, supportive of societies’ climate ambitions and fit for the future.

Join us for this event in person or online. Participants attending in person will be able to gather for some food and networking after the event, at 13:00-14:00 CEST.
