Re: Tuesday, June 14th Tax Lunch Forum
The next NFTC Tax Luncheon Forum to discuss current international tax developments will be held on Tuesday, June 14th, at 12:00 p.m. ET, at the NFTC offices, 1625 K Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC. Henry Louie, International Economist, Office of International Tax Analysis in the Office of Tax Policy, U.S. Treasury Department, will be our speaker. Henry will discuss his participation in a new OECD Working Party 1 subgroup that is examining the Non-discrimination Tax Treaty Article and related commentary. The work of the subgroup has been undertaken as a result of recent European Union court cases. Henry would appreciate knowing in advance of the Tax Lunch Forum (if possible) about any instances of discrimination that you have encountered, and how, if at all, a tax treaty was able to resolve it. It will be an interesting discussion, please attend and join in.
For those attending the meeting, lunch will be provided for $40, payable by check or credit card. Please register in advance (by Friday, June 10th) so that we can make the necessary lunch arrangements or provide the conference call-in number to you. For those who are outside the Washington Metropolitan area who cannot attend in person, a call-in number will be provided to you, however, you must return the attached response form to vmyers@nftc.org before the call-in information will be sent to you. Please complete the attached response form to attend or participate in the conference call and return it by Friday, June 10th (note that no refunds will be made after Friday).
Note to conference call participants: To give our speaker time to eat lunch, the discussion will start at approximately 12:15pm; (i.e., the call in number will activate at 12:15pm). Also, please put your phones on mute unless you are speaking and DO NOT PUT YOUR PHONE ON HOLD AT ANY TIME during the call.
I look forward to seeing you.
