Globalisation prompts the movement of individuals and assets, emphasising the need for proper regulations to ensure free movement across borders.

From a tax perspective, the panel will tackle the complexities faced by mobile taxpayers, including eligibility for double taxation treaties and various tax considerations like income tax and capital gains tax. Additionally, they’ll examine challenges posed by wartime, such as international sanctions and the effectiveness of regulations amidst recent conflicts.
