A two-day regional conference “Problematic Issues of International Tax Law” was opened at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) on October 27. The conference was organized by the Russian Branch of International Fiscal Association. Tax experts from various countries, including the representatives of state fiscal structures, consultancies and various universities presented their papers at the conference.
Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze also attended the conference. He said that “participants mostly discussed fiscal policy, tax systems, jurisdictions we are dealing with and relations with our partners from neighboring countries. Along with other issues, participants will also discuss trade relations, including the Comprehensive Free Trade Area Agreement (CFTA). Similar agreements have been signed with Turkey and quite recently with China.” He also said that this cooperation is a very interesting format and “it is important to share our experience with our neighbors.”
Scientific Secretary of the Russian Branch at the International Fiscal Association, Victor Machekhin said: “I am glad that TSU is supporting similar ideas. Representatives from various spheres of international tax system have gathered here. This issue is very interesting for both Georgia and other countries, because global interests are emerging in the tax system and various countries are working jointly to develop new tools.”
Representatives and experts from six countries are participating in the conference, which will end on October 28.
