Our first instalment features analysis of Deloitte’s landmark EMEA merger, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court tariff showdown and Venezuela’s tax evolution

ITR is excited to announce the launch of a new monthly podcast series, Taxing Times with ITR, with the first episode available to listen to now via the above module.

Hosted by ITR Editor Tom Baker and Senior Reporter Sam Sholli, the series will act as a monthly digest of the biggest and most interesting tax stories from the preceding few weeks as well as a preview of the big issues ahead.

As well as analysing recent developments and previewing future stories, the ITR editorial team will offer behind-the-scenes insights into how such articles are researched and crafted.

In our first edition, Tom and Sam analyse Deloitte’s €20 billion EMEA merger and US President Donald Trump’s tariff defeat at the US Supreme Court.

Also on the agenda: the evolution of Venezuela’s tax regime following the deposition of Nicolás Maduro, and exclusive ITR data which reveals that diversity, equity and inclusion policies are not influencing clients’ buying decisions in the US.

Look out for future episodes containing special guests from the wide world of tax. Please contact Tom or Sam to discuss participation opportunities.

We hope you enjoy Taxing Times with ITR.
