In this episode, Christian and Arne welcome Alexia Kardachaki, the
Secretary General and Head of Secretariat at the International
Fiscal Association (IFA). Alexia first provides an overview of her
career path and explains IFA's purpose as a global, independent
platform for members from all tax constituencies to connect and
discuss international tax law issues at the highest level. She
outlines the responsibilities of her current position at IFA, which
includes connecting with IFA's local branches across 71 countries.
The main focus of this episode is the recent 77th IFA Congress held
in Lisbon last October. They discuss the challenges of organising
IFA's flagship event and highlight some novelties introduced this
year, such as a scientific dialogue between tax directors and tax
administration representatives on dispute resolution. Looking
forward, the 2026 IFA Congress in Melbourne will address the two
main topics: the taxation of royalties and taxing the energy
transition, as well as a plethora of other very relevant topics,
and will offer great opportunities to connect and enjoy the best
that Melbourne and Australia have to offer (for more information
visit www.ifa2026melbourne.com). Finally, Alexia points out other
upcoming IFA events, such as the 3rd edition of the Travelling
Lectureship Programme in 2026, which will take place in 11 cities,
and regional conferences, including the European Region conference
in Madrid (Spain) in March 2026 and the LATAM and Asia Pacific
Conferences in Antigua (Guatemala) and Tokyo (Japan) in May 2026.
