The Future of Software Taxation: Australia and Beyond
October 29, 2021 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
A panel discussion with Chris Ferguson, Megan Funkhouser, Miranda Stewart, and Benjamin Lancaster
This panel discussion will consider the issues associated with characterising payments made in respect of software, including:
- Setting the scene – policy considerations and a global perspective on taxing intangibles and other royalties.
- Is the ATO view in TR 2021/D4 out of step with global consensus or will more countries adopt the ATO’s approach?
- The ATO’s perspective, the feedback received from consultation with industry and other revenue authorities.
- What’s next? More consultation and another draft – what should we expect to see?
