About the Webinar:
Throughout this session, we will examine the successes and challenges faced by countries like Estonia and Bulgaria that have adopted the flat tax model. Our panel of international experts will share insights into how these systems have influenced economic growth, tax compliance, and administrative simplicity. We will also discuss the potential pitfalls and considerations necessary for implementing such a system in Argentina.
