Corporate Tax Reform:
Delivering a More Competitive System?
3 March 2011, 15:00 - 18:00
Royal Society of Chemistry,
Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BA
The government aims to create the most competitive corporate tax system in the G20. To this end, it announced a phased reduction in corporation tax rates in the June 2010 Budget. In November 2010, HM Treasury and HMRC published the Corporate Tax Roadmap, setting out how the government intends to approach reform of the corporate tax system over the next five years. Key questions surround both the broad approach to the taxation of UK profit, and specific issues about the tax base, especially from an international perspective: how should the income from monetary assets in CFCs be taxed; how should the income from intellectual property be taxed; and how should foreign branches be taxed?
This conference brings together leading speakers from government, business and academia to debate these issues, and to take part in a wide-ranging discussion.
