EIMF: A great training opportunity on Taxation of Maritime transport income on the 29th June

EIMF is excited to announce a ground-breaking training opportunity regarding the Taxation of Maritime Transport Income. This important training will be led by none other than Tatiana Falcao, a recognized subject matter expert and consultant for the United Nations on tax issues.

The programme offers a deep dive into the world of shipping, in a market where sector developments are the predominant determinant of ship-owner income, from the perspective of an AIF or a banking institution. Starting from the main features of the shipping markets, the course takes a detailed look at the specific sectors involved (dry bulk, tankers (dirty and clean), containerships, LNG, etc.) and their distinguishing characteristics. Following this, we focus on shipping finance and capital markets, including cashflow generation.

The course also offers the fundamental supply and demand factors that affect each sector, and how these can evolve over time and create cycles in the industry, involving significant considerations for risk management purposes for both banks and AIFs. These are then connected with the four shipping markets (freight markets, sale and purchase, newbuilding, and scrapping) which provides further insights with regards to the behaviour of shipping markets.

The programme is for professionals interested in policy development and the re-framing of the international tax system like lawyers, managers and analysts of Investment Firms, CFOs, Tax Consultants, Accountants & Financial Controllers, Shipping managers, Auditors and Financial Consultants.
