09:50 – 10:10 Havens Past, Present and Future: Lessons from the Paradise PapersThe Paradise Papers, a trove of documents from offshore service providers and corporate registries, reveals insights into how some of the world’s most profitable corporations, its wealthiest citizens and its most prestigious lawyers, accountants and wealth managers work – doing business, reducing and avoiding taxes and obscuring money trails.Will Fitzgibbon, Senior Reporter, International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, USA

10:10 – 10:25 Questions & Answers

11:15 – 12:00 Networking Coffee Break

12:00 – 12:20 New Tax Strategies of Russian Businesses in BEPS EnvironmentMany countries, including Russia, are swiftly implementing BEPS measures in their national legislations which fundamentally changes the typical tax planning landscape. The speech will cover the main messages of BEPS, challenges that multinational business is facing due to BEPS and practical measures that are being implemented by big multinational businesses to meet such challenges.Marina Belyakova, Partner, Tax & Law, International Tax Services Group, Ernst & Young Moscow

12:20 – 12:40 Global Transfer Pricing DevelopmentsThe year 2017 has witnessed considerable developments on transfer pricing around the world. The OECD, after publishing its new Transfer Pricing Guidelines, has kept working on the implementation of their outcomes, as well as on further guidance on new topics. The European Union and its Joint Transfer Pricing Forum have under-taken major work to align transfer pricing rules in Europe. In the United States some relevant court cases have been decided. Moreover, numerous developing countries and emerging economies have changed their transfer pricing practices. This presentation will provide an overview and analysis of major global developments in the transfer pricing area. Raffaele Petruzzi, Managing Director, WU Transfer Pricing Center, Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law, Austria

12:40 – 13:00 Financial Secrecy Index 2018The Financial Secrecy Index (FSI) ranks jurisdictions according to their secrecy and their scale of their offshore financial activities. Launched by Tax Justice Network every two years, the FSI is a tool for understating global financial secrecy, tax havens and illicit financial flaws. The presentation will introduce the FSI and explain what we can learn from it, while focusing more on Cyprus, in comparison with other jurisdictions.Moran Harari, Researcher, Tax Justice Network; Director, TJN Israel

13:00 – 13:20 The Impact of US Tax Reform on International Tax SystemsPresident Donald Trump and the Republican Party have successfully pushed through US tax reform, reducing the corporation tax rate from 35% to 21%, and introducing a territorial tax system. What will this mean for the way in which both US and non-US companies structure their global business operations, and how might other countries respond from a policy perspective? Jeremy David Cape, Partner, Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP, UK

13:20 – 13:40 Managing Tax RiskThere is now an intense focus on “closing the tax gap”, supported by global tax transparency initiatives and increasingly stringent sanctions on those who have irregularities in their tax affairs. In addition, tax authorities are planning carefully to target their resources on perceived ‘high risk’ tax payers, making it more important than ever for individuals, corporate companies and fiduciaries to manage their tax risk. This presentation will focus on the impact of increasing international flow of information and what measures can help to identify and significantly reduce tax risk in an informed and strategic manner.Fiona Fernie, FCA, TEP, Tax Dispute Resolution Partner, UK
