As you know, the theme for the South Africa conference is “Taxpayer Rights, Human Rights: Issues for Developing Countries.” The economic repercussions worldwide of the coronavirus pandemic give a new urgency to exploring this topic. So I’m pleased to announce that this is subject of our next Tax Chat! which will be held on Tuesday, 06 October 2020 at noon Eastern Daylight Time. Be sure to check your time zone – it is 6 pm South African Standard Time, 5 pm British Summer Time, and 6 pm Central European Summer Time.
Our guests for the Tax Chat! on October 6th are Professors Riel Franzsen and Annet Oguttu, and Asha Ramgobin. Riel is the director of the African Tax Institute at the University of Pretoria, which is the host of the 6th International Conference on Taxpayer Rights. Annet is a professor in the Department of Taxation at the University of Pretoria, and Asha is Executive Director and co-founder of the Human Rights Development Initiative in Pretoria, South Africa.
We will discuss the role of taxpayer rights and human rights as a means to achieve sustainable development goals.
