Brexit & Tax

The UK’s decision to leave the European Union will undoubtedly impact a number of policy areas. Although it is difficult at this stage to provide specific details about how the UK taxation system and EU tax policy will be impacted by Brexit, FTI Consulting Tax experts Richard Baxter (Tax on Trade and VAT), Sarah Lane (Financial services and direct tax) and Ruth Steedman (Transfer pricing) will join us from London to share their insights. They will discuss the implications Brexit may have on the UK’s tax system, ongoing (and newly proposed) European initiatives, as well as how these changes may affect companies that operate throughout the EU and might be reconsidering their base of operations.
