Taylor’s, the premier educational institution is collaborating with leading independent tax advisory firm, TraTax to organise the Regional Tax & Investment Conference 2023. The one-day conference will look to equip attendees with expert insights into investment trends and tax developments across the Southeast Asian region.

The conference is slated for 21 March 2023 at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, and coincides with increasingly broader cross-border trade, investment diversification trends and new taxation conversations as the region looks to rebound from the economic constraint of the pandemic whilst pre-emptively combating any possibility of an economic slowdown.

It 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.

“This may be the first in recent times such a congregation of industry experts is taking place. I am sure attendees will find it immensely beneficial and that it will have positive long-term knock-on effects for the tax and investment landscape in totality.”
