Asian Development Bank International Tax Conference

The Fifteenth International Tax Conference was held at the ADB Institute in Tokyo on October 17-20, 2005. The Conference dealt with several taxation issues, namely international tax developments (particularly concerning tax treaties) and value added tax.

From the material made available in the ADB website I would highlight the following presentations:
