Talk B17 x Forbes : “Jean-Paul OLINGER: Modernizing the Tax Administration”
Directeur - Administration des Contributions Directes
“In this world, nothing is certain, except death and taxes.” This famous maxim by Benjamin Franklin remains truer than ever.
At our upcoming B17 x Forbes conference, we will address one of these essential topics: taxes, and more specifically, the collection of direct taxes.
Taxes have existed since ancient times. Once local and rudimentary, they have become, over time, centralized, structured, and increasingly automated.
Today, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Administration des Contributions Directes (ACD) oversees the collection of personal income tax, corporate tax, wealth tax, and property tax. This represents more than €10 billion, or nearly 45% of the state budget for 2024.
We will have the privilege of welcoming Jean-Paul Olinger, the new director of the ACD, appointed in 2024. An expert and connoisseur of the business world, he led the Union of Luxembourg Enterprises (UEL) for six years.
This conversation, moderated by Pierre-Yves Lanneau Saint Léger, will focus on the challenges of modernizing and transforming the Luxembourg tax administration.
An open exchange, at the intersection of public issues and the expectations of economic stakeholders.
A unique opportunity for B17 members and Forbes Luxembourg readers to take a fresh look at taxation… and engage in constructive dialogue.
