Conference: “The New Era of Taxation and the Role of Advisors”

June 26, 2017
On June 14, 2017, the Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences hosted a conference titled “The New Era of Taxation and the Role of Tax Advisors.” The speakers discussed the current activities and role of the Uruguayan Institute of Tax Studies (IUET).

The speakers also recognized the faculty members of the graduate tax program who were appointed as new leaders of the IUET: Félix Abadi, CPA, recently elected as president, and Dr. Gianni Gutiérrez and Federico Otegui, CPA, elected as members of its Board of Directors for the 2017–2019 term.

They also reflected on the changes that have taken place, both locally and internationally, in tax legislation and countries’ attitudes toward tax transparency.

These changes are shaping a new paradigm in the field that affects taxpayers themselves and the work carried out by tax advisors.

- Félix Abadi, CPA, co-founding partner of the law firm Rueda Abadi Pereira and SMS Uruguay. President of IUET. Professor of Taxation at the faculty.

- Dr. Gianni Gutiérrez, partner in the Tax Department of Ferrere Abogados and member of the IUET Board of Directors. Instructor of the Tax Workshop at the faculty.

- Cr. Federico Otegui, international consultant and member of the IUET Board of Directors. Professor of Taxation at the faculty.

The event was organized by the faculty’s Accounting and Tax Department.
