STEP Europe Virtual Discussion on DAC6 attracts nearly 600 delegates.

With the DAC6 reporting requirements upon us, I joined an international panel of experts last week for #STEPEurope's second Virtual Panel Discussion. 

Nearly 600 delegates registered for the session with over 300 joining live to enjoy what resulted in a lively discussion on the information exchange regime #DAC6. 

The session was moderated by Simon Gorbutt TEP, Lombard International Assurance S.A., Luxembourg and I was joined by:

  • Jérôme Barré TEP, Barré & Associés, France
  • Marco Cerrato TEP, Maisto e Associati, Italy
  • Dr. Niklas Schmidt J.R.M. TEP, WOLF THEISS Attorneys-at-Law, Austria

and included:

  • Practical experience from ‘postponement’ and ‘non-postponement’ countries.
  • Approaches to DAC6 analyses and reporting.
  • Significant country variations and what to do about them.
  • EU and non-EU case studies.
  • Commercial impact (provider, advisor and client).
  • Four things you must know, before you report.

There will also be a follow up Q&A report which we will share as soon as available. 

For more information on DAC6 requirements, please contact me.
