Throughout the day, attendees engaged in dynamic discussions on various topics, including  tax reforms, digital taxation, and international tax cooperation. Expert panels and interactive  sessions facilitated the exchange of ideas and best practices, fostering a deeper understanding  of the evolving tax landscape.

One of the forum's highlights was the presentation of new research findings on tax  compliance and the impact of digitalisation on tax administration. These findings are  expected to inform future policy decisions and enhance the effectiveness of Malaysia's tax  system.
