What prompted us to develop this event?
The public finance crisis resulting from the pandemic has accelerated the discussion within governments on how to increase tax revenues in a recessionary economic environment. In some Latin American states, initiatives have emerged to develop structural tax reforms oriented in this direction.
While states are assessing the possibility of implementing such tax reforms, finance officials are discussing and advocating how to tax tax taxpayers who carry out their activities in the digital economy, as a consequence of the increase in digital business models experienced in recent years and the lack of effective taxation in these models.
