February 14, 2008 – CIAT will hold an In-person Seminar called “Auditing Multinational Enterprises”, which will be co-sponsored by Chile’s Internal Revenue Service and the OECD. The seminar will take place on April 7-11, 2008 in Santiago de Chile, Chile.

The seminar pursues two objectives. First, to analyze the tax treatment of Multinational Enterprises (MNE’s), specific international taxation issues and planning opportunities that these entities typically have. The second objective is to analyze the “best practices” that the CIAT and OECD member countries present at the workshop have adopted to deal with these enterprises.

The workshop has been designed for high-level officials involved in the auditing of multinational enterprises that work in the tax administrations of Spanish- or English-speaking CIAT member countries.

The tax administrations that wish to participate should communicate to CIAT the name of the official designated to attend the seminar by February 29, 2008 by sending an e-mail to adeleon@ciat.org and mmora@sii.cl.

It is worth noting that the airfare from the country of origin to Santiago de Chile, as well as accommodation, transportation and any other expenses incurred by participants of the seminar shall be borne by the tax administration of the official’s country.
