Managing your Tax Compliance in Latin America – Systems, Process, and<br />

People<br />

This panel will cover the main challenges for companies in Latin America in establishing<br />

and managing their tax compliance in the region. It is known that Latin America has<br />

significantly more difficult compliance rules from “form over substance” to electronic<br />

invoicing. Companies need to be prepared to operate in such a harsh environment. The<br />

speakers will cover what are the best systems for Latin America and how to create and<br />

maintain processes that are compliant from a local perspective. Finally, how to attract,<br />

hire & retain tax talent for Latin America will be covered.<br />

to the business. This includes supporting & enabling businesses in the more than 21<br />

different jurisdictions in the region. In-house professionals will address the question of<br />

can I internally implement a tax strategy that can save money or mitigate risks” in Latin<br />

America?<br />

48, ASC 740 (formerly FAS 109), etc.<br />

purposes. Latin America is known for its abundant indirect taxes and litigious<br />

environment. How can in-house professionals adequately translate these challenges into<br />
