The continuing digitalisation of the economy brings challenges for tax systems. How and where should digital transactions be taxed equitably and effectively? Is the proposed digital tax a suitable solution? In what way should the existing income tax and VAT be modified in this direction? Various issues of the shared economy, cryptocurrencies and other topics will be discussed by experts from practice, academic spheres as well as state administration.

The Digital Taxation Forum, which is organised by the University of Economics, Prague, Chamber of Tax Advisers and Grant Thornton, is a place intended for discussion of new proposals for taxation of digital economy and associated impacts on both entrepreneurs and tax administrations.

If you are interested in these issues, do not hesitate and get registered for this conference!
