This international conference, promoted by the Courmayeur Mont Blanc and Centro nazionale di prevenzione e difesa sociale-CNPDS Foundations with the support of Ludovici Piccone & Partners, will take a holistic look at the tax risk management model given the Italian regulatory framework. More generally, the question of certainty in tax law will be explored, along with assessing if this is fundamental to how States compete to attract companies. Time will also be spent examining the challenges, including organisational ones, of tax administration as part of aiding a country’s development.
