Time: 08:30 - 11:35
Location: Grand Hotel Vilnius, Curio Collection by Hilton, Universiteto str. 14
Lithuania is on the brink of one of the most significant tax system overhauls in recent years. What direction will the reform take? What impact could it have on the national economy, businesses, and individuals? What lessons can be drawn from the experience of other countries? And most importantly — how can we prepare for these changes today?
We invite you to attend the conference “Tax Reform 2025: What to Expect and How to Prepare“, where together with business organisations, legal and economic sectors experts we will explore the goals of the reform and potential scenarios both for companies and private individuals.
The event programme includes: a conversation, one presentation and two insightful panel discussions.
The event is organised by: Law Firm COBALT in cooperation with Žinių radijas
