The world is becoming smaller and International integration is taking place on various levels. This is especially true for India which is fast adopting International practices and is moving evolutionarily towards implementing General Service Tax (GST), IFRS convergence and making similar progressive changes in India’s Direct Tax Code. To get a better understanding of International Taxation and India’s role and responsibility on the global platform is the goal of the conference.

The All India Federation of Tax Practitioners (AIFTP) in association with the Asia-Oceania Tax Consultants Association (AOTCA) is pleased to announce their first International Tax Conference in India. This is the first time in Indian tax history that AIFTP & AOTCA have come together to host the ‘AOTCA Mumbai Meeting 2009 International Tax Conference’ from 19-21 November, 2009 at the Trident, Mumbai.
