Optimizing Workflow — Will Technology Save the Day?
Do you wonder how to optimize workflow in a tax department, how to keep up with changing regulations, and how to ensure that your calculations are correct? The use of tax technology and process automation, if employed correctly, can be critical to mitigating tax risks, lowering compliance costs, and making tax research more efficient. Our panelists will share practical examples and case studies illustrating where automation and technology can be applied best in order to reap the highest benefits for a tax department and for the business overall.

What’s New at Bloomberg Tax – Provision/Fixed Assets

Taxation in the Metaverse – Nexus in Digital Space
Virtual worlds like the metaverse are used today by individuals and businesses for a variety of reasons, from socializing and playing games, to activities such as buying real-world homes, selling artwork, or signing binding contracts. Even though transactions in the metaverse can be worth millions of dollars, it is unclear if, how, and by what authority these transactions could be taxed. This panel will discuss questions around nexus and national taxing authority in a Web3 economy that is run by avatars and fueled by cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Will governments catch up and create regulatory frameworks, or will the metaverse become the next offshore tax haven?

Speakers:

Aleksandra Bal, Indirect Tax Technology Lead, Stripe (virtual)
Daniele Majorana, Of Counsel, Miccinesi TL&C and OIKON
Natalia Velez, International Tax Director, Riot Games (virtual)
Andrew Silverman, Government Analyst — Tax Policy, Bloomberg Intelligence (Moderator)
