Session by Raffaele Russo, Head, BEPS Project, OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, Meeting of the OECD Parliamentary Group on Tax, 19 Oct 2015
Digitalisation has a wide range of implications for taxation, impacting tax policy and tax administration at both the domestic and international level. As a result, the tax policy implications of digitalisation have been at the centre of the recent global debate over whether or not international tax rules continue to be fit for purpose in an increasingly changing environment.

International Indirect Tax survival in a global supply chain Alex Baulf
The profitability of a business is directly impacted by how its supply chain makes and delivers goods, as well as by how that supply chain is structured to minimize trade and tax expenses
Economic and technical developments drive change for businesses. As a business moves through its own life cycle ,the supply chain will also evolve, as procurement, manufacturing and distribution strategies change.
The pace of change in the international tax environment is accelerating, as governments and tax administrations get to grips with BEPS. These developments will require businesses to react on a strategic and organisational level.
Such changes invariably have an impact on VAT/GST and customs obligations. As the business reacts to changes in the external environment, it needs to revisit the design and operation of the supply chain at transaction level.
This thought leadership from Grant Thornton explores both the indirect tax supply chain life cycle and the challenges, risks and opportunities at every stage within the supply chain.

Value Added tax (VAT) – in View of BangladeshIOSRJBM
This paper represents an overview of Value Added Tax (VAT) in Bangladesh. It depicts the basic features of Value Added Tax and its implication, and importance in the growing economy of Bangladesh. Bangladesh faces many problems in raising sufficient tax revenues to fund its economic and social development. To address this problem and to improve economic efficiency and growth, a major tax reform program was initiated in 1991 which centered on the introduction of a value-added tax (VAT) to replace a range of narrowlybased consumption taxes. This study works as a linkage between theory and practice on Value Added Tax. The article represents the social and economical development of the country with the basic awareness which is going at a steady pace among the people and the organization considering it as a key to further economical development. The awareness of Value Added Tax (VAT) is not very old, but still within a short span of time it has shown a remarkable change in the corporate sector and the economy of the country. It has developed a complete sense of care and responsibility towards the country and the welfare of the people.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
