Overview

The biennial Senior Resource Tax Practitioners’ Institute is a meeting for a limited number of senior resource tax specialists from the legal and accounting professions. Many experienced practitioners have found that ordinary tax conferences or seminar arrangements do not allow for in-depth discussion of complex, and often delicate issues amongst participants who have a common high level of professional skills. The meeting is based on active participation by all in attendance, along with a few featured presentations delivered by carefully-chosen subject matter experts.
