It's clear that AI is changing how work is performed and how businesses create value.

However, are tax systems set to keep pace with this rapid disruption in Australia?

Recorded live at CPA Australia's Tax Forum in August 2026, this special episode addresses this question and examines how AI could reshape taxation - from traditional sources of government revenue to tax administration and compliance.

The discussion considers what policymakers need to think about as productivity gains from AI flow through the economy, and how tax systems can remain sustainable as the nature of work and value creation changes.

This episode covers key areas such as:

• How will AI affect tax revenue, new taxes, compliance and economic growth in Australia
• The era of tax fragmentation and today's geopolitical landscape
• Cross-border investment in an era of unilateral measures
• Australia's "predictable" tax system in relation to foreign investment
• The OECD and other multilateral institutions and the role they'll play over the next decade
• Understanding the economic and fiscal drivers shaping the broader tax reform debate
• The big tax debates that nobody's talking about
