The NFTC Tax Committee Fall Meeting begins on Thursday, October 11th, with a panel discussion on corporate concerns with the base erosion provisions being discussed as part of tax reform and a move to a territorial tax system. The meeting continues through lunch on Friday, October 12th.

We will hear from Manal Corwin, Deputy Assistant Secretary, International Tax Affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department at lunch.
 

 

Following the lunch break we will have a discussion of the concerns of multinational enterprises with the exchange of information between the IRS and tax treaty partner administrations.

Peter Barnes will moderate the discussion, and Michael Danilack, (IRS Deputy Commissioner, LB&I), Douglas O’Donnell (IRS, Director, Tax Treaty Administration), and a few of their IRS colleagues will participate in the discussion. The IRS has requested that we have this discussion.
