Beyond the exams: continuing your international tax learning
The international tax landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, reflecting many of the most important global challenges of the age – from the future of the climate to issues of economic fairness, to the arrival of new technologies such as AI. As a result, it’s important for tax professionals to keep learning, even if they’ve passed their exams and completed their formal academic and professional studies.
Join our webinars
Led by experts from across tax practice, industry and government, many of whom are CTA or ADIT holders, and covering a wide range of technical subjects of global interest, our ADIT International Tax Webinars have emerged as a convenient and popular way for international tax practitioners to improve their understanding of new topics and stay on top of the latest developments in their favourite areas of tax.
Highlights from this year’s series – our fourth and counting – have included a look at the emergence of plastic taxes in Europe led by Liliana Ariton ADIT and William Graham CTA. Corporate tax specialists around the world joined ADIT holder Lubna Khatri as she explored of recent and ongoing transfer pricing controversies, while Argyro Myzithra ADIT considered the implications of ESG for multinationals’ transfer pricing policies in an era of increasing environmental and social awareness among businesses. Meanwhile, those with an interest in the UK’s cross-border tax regime were able to hear from Luda Beanland CTA ADIT and Dmitry Zapol ADIT as they discussed the double residency provisions from the perspectives of both individual and corporate taxpayers.
The webinars are open to ADIT, CTA and ATT students, Affiliates and members, as well as anyone else with an interest in international tax. If you have a topic that you would like us to feature in a future ADIT International Tax Webinar, or if you would like to get involved as a speaker or panelist, contact Rory Clarke at [email protected].
We look forward to delivering yet more webinars to support international tax professionals across a variety of exciting subjects for many years to come!

Lorraine Nelson CTA ADIT and Rose Tierney CTA finished the day with pitches for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland as prime destinations for foreign direct investment. It wouldn't be a North/South event without a bit of good-natured rivalry! helped everything to run smoothly.
