What to expect from the 2024 Deloitte Africa Annual Tax Conference
In recent years, the global tax landscape has undergone substantial transformation driven by growing digitalisation, globalisation, the call for greater tax transparency and a climate change imperative among others. This evolution has prompted policymakers to rethink their approach to tax reforms and tax administration. In line with the global reforms and “local” priorities, Africa continues to witness rapid changes in the tax landscape that businesses have to keep pace with.
As organisations grapple with the evolving tax landscape, the need to access and utilise accurate as well as timely tax-related data across global operations has become more evident. Beyond enhancing compliance, data-driven organisations can generate valuable insights for making informed strategic decisions. Against this backdrop, we will be hosting our inaugural 2024 Deloitte Africa Annual Tax Conference.
The conference will provide a platform to share insights and analysis of the latest developments and future trends in Africa’s tax landscape, as well as relevant international developments from key jurisdictions that interface with Africa, in particular the Middle East. This year’s conference theme is Navigating the current and future tax terrain: An African and Middle East perspective.

Key themes covered at the event
- Tax Policy Trends in Africa — Increased budgetary pressures have prompted most African governments to implement a raft of tax policy measures to raise more revenue. We will discuss key developments across the continent and their impact on organisations.
- Tax Technology — With the real-time or near real-time tax reporting requirements becoming prevalent, use of appropriate tax technology tools is no longer an option but a necessity. We will explore how technology tools can help organisations meet tax compliance obligations.
- The Two-Pillar Approach — The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) proposed Pillar One and Pillar Two, continue to be very topical with implementation taking shape in many parts of the globe. We will explore the position taken on Pillar One and Pillar Two by select jurisdictions in Africa and the anticipated impact of these measures. We will also examine the impact on key holding company jurisdictions.
- Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) —The application of DTAs continues to be a key focus area for tax administration. We will cover the implementation of DTAs, providing in-depth insights into the interpretation of contentious clauses in selected jurisdictions.
- International Tax and Transfer Pricing — Experts will review the revamped Transfer Pricing Regulations in selected jurisdictions and discuss key trends in the international tax space.
- Sustainability, Climate & Equity (SCE) Considerations —In the realm of taxation, SCE plays a crucial role in influencing fiscal policies and practices. Governments recognise the importance of incentivising businesses to align with SCE goals through tax incentives and penalties. Discussions will expound on SCE in the tax world and highlight key emerging issues in Africa and beyond such as carbon taxes and key grants or incentives to address SCE goals.
