3rd Annual BRICS Tax Conference focuses on the latest developments in the BRICS related to international taxation policy. The conference features speakers from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa covering a wide range of 2013-14 developments in the international tax sphere. The conference is aimed at practitioners and academics interested in the BRICS and international tax policy developments. The 3rd Annual BRICS Tax Conference is chaired by Dr Tom O'Shea.

The inspirational speakers provide an insight into the latest developments in tax law with particular emphasis on what is happening in practice. Through the conference, the audience may be inspired and motivated to think outside the box. Breaking with old tradition, our ultimate goal is to create an environment for an interactive, stimulating, exciting and educational conversation or even a debate between the lecturers and the attendees.
