The Conference: The conference comprises two Group Discussion sessions, nine Presentations, a Panel Discussion besides a short city tour, a networking dinner and a Gala Dinner evening. The objective is to reach much better understanding of the chosen complex issues by dedicating four days away from the usual abode. The Speakers: The speakers are from amongst the best. Besides extensive experience in the subject of international tax, they have excellent communication and presentation skills and have been occupying senior level positions in top leading consultancy organisations and are joining from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad. There are leading tax lawyers to help understand the complex issues relating to the subject. Joining them are other experts who have occupied the highest positions in the area of international tax while they were in service with the Govt. of India and are now advising on the most talked about cases. To add to that, we have the privilege of expertise of the presently serving senior level tax officials with extensive experience in dealing with the international organisations. Jaipur: Jaipur, also known as the Pink City, is the capital and largest city of Rajasthan. The city is an extremely popular tourist destination in Rajasthan and was ranked the 7th best place to visit in Asia. Visitor attractions include Hawa Mahal, Jal Mahal, City Palace, Amer Fort, Jantar Mantar, Nahargarh Fort. The city was originally planned according to Indian Vastu Shastra where the directions of each street and market are East to West and North to South.

2 The Lalit Jaipur: The venue of the conference is The Lalit Jaipur which is located near Jawahar Circle, opposite Malviya Nagar.The Lalit Jaipur is a 5-star deluxe hotel, minutes away from the international & domestic airport, cultural attractions, historical monuments & shopping centers. This is twelve minutes drive from Jaipur international airport, five minutes drive from domestic airport and about 30 minutes away from Central Railway Station or Bus Station. The Technical Content: The face of international tax is undergoing a rapid change. With India already a signatory to the G20 BEPS Project, it is only a matter of time that India will legislate the recommendations of the Group. The definition of a foreign company having earlier expanded under the Companies Act 2013, taxation of digital economy being hotly debated, attempts to artificially avoid Permanent Establishment being thwarted, and talks about consumption based tax being raised, we are actually transitioning to a new set of concepts and principles for taxation of the foreign companies in India. Then the new Transfer Pricing Guidance including the Country by Country Reporting, would be part of the Indian TP regulations. On the outbound side, the Place of Effective Management deciding the residence and taxation of the foreign companies has a potential to raise many controversies in time to come. A related issue will be the impact on the Foreign

3 Tax Credit claim in such situations. Besides, we are moving into a new era of global cooperation with the automatic exchange of information giving teeth to the Black Money Law and FATCA and concerted efforts being made to find a way to put in place a Multilateral Treaty. We should also not lose sight of another interesting development on the horizon where the foreign companies are invoking Bilateral Investment Promotion Treaties and resorting to International Arbitration for tax disputes. All these developments are to be tracked and understood in all its dimensions. These have been built into the program to be deliberated at the conference.
