Following up on the very successful 2nd European Tax Judges Conference in 2022, the non-profit body „Deutsche Finanzgerichtstag e.V.“, an association formed by most of the German tax judges, holding annual meetings to discuss current developments in tax law and problems of procedural law, would like to discuss once again common problems in the field of national and european tax law with other european tax judges.
The conference will be free of charge and the conference language will be English.
A Welcome Reception will be held on Sunday evening, September 15th 2024, 19:00 p.m. by invitation of Deutscher Finanzgerichtstag e.V. We recommend to spend a weekend in Cologne and attend the conference on Monday.
The conference will primarily cover procedural issues with respect to preliminary rulings relevant for EU tax judges. We will also discuss common VAT problems.
