What really happens behind the European Union’s major tax decisions? Who sets the priorities, who coordinates the Member States and – most importantly – how do these decisions translate into the day-to-day reality of businesses and tax professionals? The answers come to Nicosia, through the voice of Marta Tañà Homs, at the 9th Cyprus International Tax Conference.
Marta Tañà Homs, Policy Assistant at the European Commission, is not just another speaker. She is among those who are “in the room” when the EU’s tax agenda is being shaped. From corporate taxation and anti-tax avoidance measures to the global minimum tax, the taxation of the digital economy and the coordination of key tax matters at G7 and G20 level, her daily work is closely linked to the major decisions that affect all Member States.
With a professional background as a tax and customs lawyer at a top-tier Spanish law firm, combined with a strong academic foundation in Law, Business Administration and Tax Law, Marta brings together something rare: institutional insight and a practical understanding of the market. This is precisely what makes her presentation so timely – and so valuable.
Her presentation, entitled “The EU Tax Agenda 2024–2029,” is not a theoretical policy discussion. It is a roadmap for the next five years. In a clear and accessible way, she will outline tax simplification initiatives, the implementation and enforcement of Pillar Two and the global minimum tax, developments in the taxation of the digital economy and – perhaps most critically – the European Union’s expectations for Member States such as Cyprus.
For those active in taxation, finance, law or business strategy, this presentation acts as an “early warning system”. What is coming? What is changing? What should we be preparing for today? Marta Tañà Homs does not speak only about rules – she speaks about direction.
At a time when Cyprus is implementing its own major tax reform and repositioning itself on the European and international tax map, her participation in the conference carries particular weight. The EU tax agenda is not something distant; it is the framework within which businesses, investments and professionals will operate in the years ahead.
The message is clear – and optimistic: those who understand the European tax strategy early gain a competitive advantage. And the 9th Cyprus International Tax Conference is the ideal starting point for those who want not just to follow developments, but to stay ahead of them.
