On June 14 2022, EFS is organizing a congress to mark the beginning of its 30th anniversary. The theme of the conference is: ‘Globalisation, digitalization and sustainability’. The themes are viewed from each of the three disciplines on which EFS focuses, namely direct taxes, VAT and customs duties. Nine speakers give an introduction on each item. After the introductions of the afternoon there is extensive space for panel discussion between the speaker and with the participants.
