Taxation in the Times of COVID-19: A Webinar
We're excited to launch our next webinar, which will tackle the main issue afflicting us all—COVID-19.
As we all know by now, COVID-19 has beat up the world's economy, forcing countries to fight back by setting up a series of policies destined to support local businesses and help them weather this viral storm.
During this webinar, which will take place on Wednesday, May 20th at 14:00 London GMT, our distinguished panel of experts will talk about COVID-19's impact on the local and international tax world and some of the tax policies being implemented in their own jurisdictions to boost the local economy. Our speakers come from Israel, Brazil, the USA, Canada and Holland, so there should be plenty to say about this issue.
We'll also dedicate some time to how COVID-19 will change the way we do business from a professional development, networking and marketing perspective.
Join us for what's shaping up to be an insightful and exciting discussion on the hottest challenge these days!
