With the passage of Ease of Paying Taxes Act (EOPT), the government aims to make tax compliance easy and simple for everyone.

Our speakers and panelist actively joined the hearings and submitted position papers in connection with the drafting of the EOPT Bill. They will share valuable insights about the new law.

In this free webinar, our speakers will discuss changes in classification of taxpayers, filing and payments of taxes, rules on VAT and other percentage taxes, tax refund, and other administrative requirements brought about by EOPT, and its impact on the taxpayers and business practices.
