IFA BRITISH BRANCH

WELCOME TO THE 2008 BRITISH BRANCH PROGRAMME

...EXTRA MEETING ADDED ON 2nd APRIL, OPEN TO NON-MEMBERS
TOPIC:The European Mergers Tax Directive .....DETAILS ON MEETINGS PAGE

This meeting is a special event intended to introduce the British Branch of the International Fiscal Association to potential new members. It is therefore open to non-members as well as members

The IFA British Branch has an exciting programme of activities designed to enable members tolearn, exchange and express ideas and make new friends in the international tax community.

The British Branch is a unique meeting place for tax managers and directors, lawyers, accountants, and members of the Inland Revenue. A membership application may be found at the back of the programme to pass on to colleagues wishing to join.
Technical Meetings: There are over a dozen technical evening meetings planned for the year in London, with high level speakers drawn from government, the tax professions, business and international organisations.

Joint Meetings: As a result of well-established collaborations, we have joint meetings in London with HM Treasury and HMRC, and with the CIOT.

We hold a joint meeting with an IFA Branch from another country, either in their jurisdiction or in the UK most years. Details will be available closer to the time.

Publications: The British Branch appoints two National Reporters each year to write a report on the United Kingdom treatment of particular topics under examination at annual congresses.

The UK Branch encourages contributions to the Bulletin for International Fiscal Documentation. The editor welcomes original and previously unpublished scholarly contributions, which examine important tax developments or issues of interest to an international readership of tax professionals.

Thank you to the speakers, and to our various hosts for making the lecture facilities available this year.

We look forward to seeing you at our meetings and hope that you will find the programme
enriching and enjoyable.

WHAT IS THE IFA?
The International Fiscal Association (IFA) is the leading non-governmental international organisation dealing with tax matters. It comprises taxpayers, their advisers, government officials, and university professors, and is a unique forum for discussing international tax questions.

The IFA is headquartered in the Netherlands and now has nearly 11,000 members worldwide deriving from 94 countries. The objects of the Association are the study and advancement of international and comparative law in regard to public finance, specifically international and comparative fiscal law, and the financial and economic aspects of taxation.

These objects are achieved by research, the holding of congresses throughout the world where branches are located, and publications. Its main annual publication is the “Cahiers de Droit Fiscal International”, which examines two major subjects annually and is distributed free to members. The official journal is the Bulletin for International Fiscal Documentation published by the International Bureau for Fiscal Documentation 12 times a year and available on subscription.
