At this event, our guest speaker will provide insights from PwC's Annual Global CEO Survey and international tax trends. PwC's Annual Global CEO Survey, now in its nineteenth year, aims to inform and stimulate the debate on how businesses are facing today's challenges. This year's survey is based on responses from 1,322 CEOs in 77 countries, including 19 CEOs based in Taiwan and surveys of 102 listed companies in Taiwan.

The papers reveal information about 214,000 companies and have implicated at least five heads of state and numerous government officials in more than 40 countries.

Among other subjects, the following international tax trends will be addressed:
