Grace Perez-Navarro, deputy director of the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, is the final keynote of the day and will discuss the ongoing negotiations around a digital services tax and when to expect a final solution.

"The upcoming Bloomberg Tax Leadership Forum gives corporate tax leaders a unique opportunity to hear from individuals who are shaping 2020 tax policy in the U.S. and internationally, as well as learning how their peers are navigating the significant impact of continuing changes" said Lisa Fitzpatrick, president, Bloomberg Tax and Accounting. "This forum is one way we keep our customers ahead of developments.

Bloomberg Tax Leadership Forum panel discussions will focus on the implementation of TCJA regulations, the wide range of tax incentives available to corporations, the future of the corporate tax department, and how the digitization of the economy is eroding traditional models of nexus and permanent establishment — and what that means for multinational corporations.
