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, potential scenarios, and practical steps for preparation — both for companies and private individuals.
The event programme includes: a keynote, two insightful expert-led panel discussions, and practical guidance for businesses navigating the upcoming changes to the tax system.
The event is organised by: Law Firm COBALT in cooperation with Žinių radijas
Host and moderator: Raigardas Musnickas, Presenter at Žinių radijas.
