Session 7: Q&A Panel - Tax, climate and the economy - what does the future hold?   |   4:000pm - 5:30pm

Panel: The Hon. Bruce Billson, Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombdusman, Scott Treatt, CTA, The Tax Institute, Cristina Wolters, CTA, Transurban, Danielle Wood, Grattan Institute 
Facilitator: Ellen Fanning, Award winning current affairs journalist

The changes and challenges over the past few years have tested individuals, families, businesses, organisations and governments like never before. 

As we turn our focus to the future, what known and unknown challenges will we, our clients and our communities face?

How can we remain agile and continue to pivot, adjust and respond so we can manage whatever lays ahead and we and our clients are set up for every success?

This interactive Q&A session will:

  • Discuss the economic and political environment
  • Reflect on how the past few years will shape and impact policy development for years to come
  • Consider the role of tax in addressing policy design challenges as well as those associated with climate, innovation and technology
  • Look to the next 12 months and explore those issues you would be well advised to keep in your sights.

Session 8: Tax Policy and Advocacy panel session   |   8:30am - 9:15am

Panel: Scott Treatt, CTA, The Tax Institute, Robyn Jacobson, CTA, The Tax Institute, Julie Abdalla, FTI, The Tax Institute

Join The Tax Institute’s Tax Policy and Advocacy team as they discuss and address the latest key issues facing the tax and superannuation systems and the tax community.

Increased focus on the activities of the Tax Practitioners Board corresponds with its investigations and compliance programs that target the highest risk tax practitioners and the legislative changes following the Government’s response to the review of the TPB.

More than ever, tax practitioners need to keep pace with developments in the tax ecosystem so they can minimise risks to their own practices and their clients’ tax affairs.
