Hansuke’s 5th annual Financial Services Tax Conference offered a compelling and interactive programme, reviewing the most important developments and issues which Heads of Tax in the financial services industry are facing. It featured influential speakers, from representatives of tax authorities and journalists to leading industry practitioners, academics, and thinkers. The topics of the conference included challenges around withholding taxes, relations between the EU and the UK, artificial intelligence, taxation of digital financial services, environment and sustainability, private equity and more.

The proposed EU FASTER initiative tackles the issue of a practical tax disadvantage for non-domestic investors within the EU. The second part of our whitepaper series on the new EU FASTER Directive explains what the EU proposal looks like and what the potential pitfalls of implementation could be.
