The USD School of Law International Tax Conference is an annual event organized by the University of San Diego School of Law in collaboration with the Chamberlain International Tax Institute. This conference brings together leading experts, practitioners, and academics to discuss and analyze current issues and developments in international tax law.
The conference covers a wide range of topics, including the use of local anti-abuse rules in international contexts, the latest in cryptocurrency enforcement, challenges in the sports and entertainment industry, and corporate restructuring between the U.S. and Mexico. Sessions also delve into valuation battles in U.S. Tax Court, tax reporting obligations for assets held in U.S. trusts, and the impact of new international statutory laws on outbound investments to Mexico.
Attendees have the opportunity to engage in networking sessions, participate in panel discussions, and hear from notable speakers such as former Secretary of Treasury and Central Bank Governor Agustín Carstens and Luis Urrutia. The conference also features practical workshops and case studies to enhance understanding of complex tax issues.
This event is ideal for tax professionals, legal practitioners, academics, and policymakers who wish to stay ahead of emerging cross-border tax trends, navigate complex U.S.–Mexico and multinational tax issues, and connect with a global network of tax professionals.
