Beyond the ADIT exams: continuing your international tax learning

The international tax landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, reflecting many of the most important global challenges of the age – from the future of the climate and issues of economic fairness to the arrival of new technologies such as AI. As a result, it is important for tax professionals to keep learning, even if they have passed their exams and completed their formal academic and professional studies.

Join our webinars

Led by experts from across tax practice, industry and government, many of whom are CTA or ADIT holders, and covering a wide range of technical subjects of global interest, our ADIT International Tax Webinars have emerged as a convenient and popular way for international tax practitioners to improve their understanding of new topics and stay on top of the latest developments.

Highlights from this year’s series – our fourth and counting – have included the following webinars:

• Liliana Ariton ADIT and William Graham CTA led a session on the emergence of plastic taxes in Europe.
• Corporate tax specialists around the world joined ADIT holder Lubna Khatri as she explored recent and ongoing transfer pricing controversies.
• Argyro Myzithra ADIT considered the implications of environmental, social and corporate governance for multinationals’ transfer pricing policies in an era of increasing environmental and social awareness.
• Those interested in the UK’s cross-border tax regime were able to hear from Luda Beanland CTA ADIT and Dmitry Zapol ADIT, as they discussed the double residency provisions from the perspectives of both individual and corporate taxpayers.

The webinars are open to ADIT, CTA and ATT students, Affiliates and members, as well as anyone else with an interest in international tax.

If you have a topic that you would like us to feature in a future ADIT International Tax Webinar, or if you would like to get involved as a speaker or panelist, contact Rory Clarke at rclarke@adit.org.

We look forward to delivering yet more webinars to support international tax professionals across a variety of exciting subjects for many years to come!

Our latest conference exhibition

We were delighted to support the recent Cross Border Tax Conference, developed and hosted by Catriona Loughran, Managing Director at ExtraTax Training, who provide tuition for the ADIT programme.

The conference brought tax professionals together to discuss UK and Irish tax issues impacting their businesses and clients. Elaine Farrell CTA, Tax Director at Farrell & Farrell Chartered Accountants, showed the depth and breadth of her UK and Irish tax expertise, sharing practical insights of dealing with cross-border tax issues for businesses and individuals, throughout the conference programme.

Lisa Knipe CTA, Group Tax Manager at Almac Group, and Jonathan Megaw, Tax Director at Grant Thornton NI LLP, shared their experience of international tax and current priorities for businesses, from Corporate Criminal Offence legislation and the Senior Accounting Officer regime to the challenges of homeworking in a cross-border context.

Lorraine Nelson CTA ADIT, Tax Partner at BDO NI, and Rose Tierney CTA, Principal at Tierney Tax Consultancy, finished the day with pitches for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as prime destinations for foreign direct investment. It wouldn’t be a North/South event without a bit of good-natured rivalry!

Finally Salema Hafiz, Head of Business Development and Marketing at the CIOT, and Colm Mooney FCCA ADIT, Senior Manager at Pfizer, promoted the ADIT international tax qualification. Colm stressed the unique importance of ADIT to the island of Ireland, with issues like Brexit and BEPS 2.0 putting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland at the centre of global conversations.
