Tax Audit For Multinationals & Large Businesses

24th – 28th November 2025 – Rotterdam

Tax has become a highly sensitive political issue recently, with multinational companies (MNCs) accused of not paying appropriate amounts in some of the countries in which they operate. Governments, tax authorities and campaign groups are seeking greater transparency – and this has significant consequences for company boards and their audit committees

Large businesses contribute significantly to a nation’s economy and society, providing employment, infrastructure and tax revenue to support the nation and its people. The importance of large business and its overall contribution means it plays a significant role in the tax system. Collaboration between revenue authorities and MNEs allows that the tax system operates as efficiently as possible.
