The British Chamber of Commerce in Korea is to hold the first Tax & Finance Forum this week under the theme “2020 Vision: Shaping the Future of Tax & Finance,” the chamber said Monday.

Sponsored by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, the forum is to take place Wednesday at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, inviting industry leaders from PwC, the Bank of Korea, and Korean law firms.

“Tax and finance professionals working at multinational companies in Korea are encouraged to participate to gain helpful insights into the current tax systems in Korea and how to improve it in the future,” the chamber said in a statement.

Speakers are to offer a glimpse into their top practice, opportunities and challenges of the present, and policy implications of South Korea’s tax and customs-related regulations, the chamber said.

Panel discussions and workshops will cover employee expense policy, transfer pricing valuations among others.

Admissions cost 70,000 won for members and 90,000 won for non-members. Registration is available via the BCCK website.
