DEAR PARTICIPANTS! DEAR COLLEAGUES!

organizations invite the European tax experts to Budapest for the ninth time, to

‘Competitive knowledge - competitive economy’! The 9th International Tax
Conference on 4-5th June 2015 offers with this motto a pleasant and useful
program in the beautiful environment of the Aquincum Hotel.
The 9th ‘Taxation in Europe’ conference in 2015 focuses on
Tax administration and audit.
Tax administration includes all the rules defining the activities of taxpayers and tax
authorities and declares rights and obligations of participants in process. The activities
of law-abiding taxpayers and tax administration, together with combating tax fraud
are of great, economy-wide significance. Recognizing this, international and domestic
regulations appear one after the other, which are intended to enforce lawful conduct
of taxpayers and the realization of fiscal interests.
At the plenary sessions of the conference, leaders of professional organizations
controlling domestic fiscal relations present their professional experience, give an
overview of international experience and clarify the relationship between tax
administration and criminal law.
On the first day session meeting foreign tax advisors describe features of certain
country's tax control regulations, providing facilities to mutual understanding and
utilization of foreign successful solutions for people acting in legislative preparation
and jurisdiction.
On the second day session meeting representatives of tax authority and certified tax
experts deliver their own view and experience about the legal frameworks and applied
practice in the field of certain tax types and control area.
For both days of the event, prestigious presenters are called upon to light the particular
issues from an international point of view. The location, the quality of accompanying
programs and the recognition of supporters and partner professional organizations
guarantee the useful and pleasant stay.

OUR FORMER PARTICIPANTS SAID
”I’m here for the sixth or seventh time in Budapest and it is my fourth conference
with your association. I’m the vice-president of the Deutsche Steuerberaterverband
and of EFAA – European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for SMEs. In
Germany we have about 80 000 accountants and the Deutsche Steuerberaterverband
has 2 000 accountants. Thus I think we have a big infl uence if we talk about taxation
in Germany. The program was very exciting and great, I suppose we have a lot of
problems with our national taxation, but international taxation is more problematic”
Hans Michael Korth prof. Dr. (vice-president of Deutsche Steuerberaterverband)
”I would also like to thank the organizers for offering me the great opportunity to
participate here at the 7th International Tax Conference as a representative of the
Romanian Chamber of Tax Advisers. I specially appreciate the international
approach of this conference based on the international cooperations among our
organizations which I considere to be a very signifi cant element in our profession. I
represent the Romanian Chamber of Tax Advisers an organisation which plays a very
important role for our 5 000 consultants and about 400 member companies.
Therefore offering the possibility to participate as a presenter in the 2nd part of the
conference is a very good occasion to share a lot of impressions about the most
important fiscal aspects in our countries.”
