Aside from attending the GGI World Conference events, the Nolands Capital and Nolands Tax team embraced the vibrant culture and unique experiences Japan had to offer. From indulging in an all-you-can-eat Wagyu BBQ, marvelling at the iconic 3D cat billboard, and exploring the immersive modern art at teamLab Planets, to traveling to the breathtaking city of Kyoto, every moment was unforgettable!🍣🎨

Earlier this month, Stuart Noland and Chris Esterhuysen from Nolands Capital, together with Graeme Saggers and Evan Schutte from Nolands Tax, attended the GGI World Conference in Tokyo, Japan.

The team eagerly reconnected with familiar faces from the GGI family while meeting new ones during thought-provoking practice group discussions, including the International Tax session and the GCG M&A Dealmakers Meeting.

A standout moment was when our very own Graeme Saggers, Vice Chair of the EMEA region for the International Tax Practice Group, chaired an insightful panel discussion on the nuances of various jurisdictions' holding company regimes. The panel featured esteemed experts from the USA, UK, Netherlands, and Australia, delivering a truly global perspective on this important topic.

This conference provided the perfect platform to network, exchange best practices, and strengthen global relationships. And of course, the team embraced Tokyo’s incredible culture and cuisine along the way! 🍣

Stay tuned for our next post showcasing the fun excursions and unforgettable experiences from their time in Japan.

We’re proud to announce that our very own Carla Smith from Nolands Tax has recently joined the brand-new South African Women of IFA Network (WIN) committee!

During the 76th Congress of the International Fiscal Association (IFA), the South African WIN committee hosted an inspiring “WIN in Conversation” discussion, one of Carla’s highlights from the WIN programme. WIN serves as a platform to connect and uplift professional women in the field of international tax.

The "WIN in Conversation" featured an incredible panel of business women, who shared valuable insights on amplifying one’s voice, empowering others, and confidently navigating leadership roles as women in the international tax profession.

Congratulations, Carla, on this significant achievement and for continuing to lead with purpose and passion!

Our Nolands Tax team had an unforgettable experience at the 76th Congress of the International Fiscal Association (IFA)!

While the seminar discussions were incredibly insightful, the Congress offered more than just technical sessions. Attendees explored the vibrant city of Cape Town, immersing themselves in its rich culture and heritage.

From a private evening at the Zeitz MOCAA Museum to a magical outdoor concert by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra at Kirstenbosch Gardens, and an electrifying performance by the Ndlovu Youth Choir during the grand South African Celebration — the event was truly one for the books!

A special highlight for our team was meeting SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter at the South African Celebration.
