Our popular annual conference will this year be held on Wednesday 13 June, from 9.15am to 5.00pm. The theme of the conference is 'Tax planning in hard times', with speakers from the TSP team and other specialist BDO speakers. We are also delighted that Keith Gordon of Atlas Chambers will be joining us to bring an 'update from the Bar' on topical tax cases. Many delegates will know Keith from the landmark Arctic Systems case, where he was the assisting Counsel for the taxpayer, and we look forward to hearing his news and views on current developments in the courts and tribunals.
The Taxline and VATline teams will join the panel for a question and answer session, and will be on hand during lunch and at the post-conference drinks to discuss any issues with you.
