WELCOME2016 National Infrastructure Conference

On behalf of the organising committee, I would like to welcome you to the 2016 National Infrastructure Conference, the only conference focused entirely on tax issues affecting infrastructure. In its second year, the conference will return to The Langham Hotel in Melbourne, from 26 to 27 May 2016.

Investment in infrastructure is critical for maintaining living standards and creating the conditions in which our economy can continue to grow. Governments in Australia are increasingly looking to the private sector to develop and maintain roads, ports, pipelines, power and other essential infrastructure assets.

Our conference program covers many issues that are relevant to our industry, including the meaning of “control” in the context of public trading trusts and the thin capitalisation rules, BEPs and global infrastructure, financing stapled structures, tax sharing and tax funding agreements, and an update on the managed investment trust (MIT) rules among other things. We again have a session on the ATO’s perspective on infrastructure investment from Jeremy Hirschhorn.

This year, on the Thursday night, we will have a conference dinner at The Langham where there will be ample opportunities to catch up with colleagues from professional firms, corporates and the ATO.

I look forward to seeing you in Melbourne in May.
