The 2017 Symposium, an initiative of CSAT, will

focus on Africa and the post-BEPS landscape. As

always, the Symposium will present a sharp and

insightful perspective on current issues in African

taxation. Set against the backdrop of the prevailing

international tax climate, we offer a rich programme

tailored to the needs of all tax professionals with an

interest in Africa. We will pay particular attention to

the key areas of tax treaties, transfer pricing and the

taxation of natural resources. We have an impressive

line-up of world-renowned speakers, ranging from

IBFD in-house experts to speakers from practice,

industry and academia. All sessions will focus on

highly practical content and will be rounded out by

perspectives from all over the world.
