TIHK Supporting Event – OECD Event: Tax & ESG

by Hoi Ying Lim Comment Closed
(Organiser:  International Fiscal Association - Hong Kong Branch) The event will look at how ESG can impact the tax morale of companies & the environmental tax measurements taken by governments, this all from an Asian perspective. Companies (including tax law/ advisory firms) face pressure to do it right (pay fair taxes/ be transparent on their tax (advisory) policies) from not only investors, the regulatory and society, but also from (their own) employees.
