IBCCS TAX to Attend Plan ₿ Forum 2026 in Lugano, Switzerland

IBCCS TAX will be attending Plan ₿ Forum 2026 in Lugano, Switzerland, on 23–24 October, with representatives from its Cyprus and Georgia teams joining the international Bitcoin community for two days of discussions, networking and new business opportunities.

The event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, technology leaders and industry professionals exploring the future of Bitcoin, financial freedom and decentralised technologies. For IBCCS TAX, participation provides an opportunity to connect with internationally active businesses and individuals, exchange perspectives on emerging market developments and develop relationships within the global technology and investment ecosystem.

With expertise in international taxation, corporate structuring, accounting and relocation services, our team looks forward to engaging with participants interested in expanding their businesses, managing cross-border operations and exploring new international opportunities.

Plan ₿ Forum 2026: Where Bitcoin, Innovation and Global Business Meet

Taking place at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano, Switzerland, on 23–24 October 2026, Plan ₿ Forum is a major international gathering dedicated to Bitcoin adoption, economics, financial sovereignty and technological innovation.

The conference brings together leading voices from the Bitcoin ecosystem, including entrepreneurs, developers, investors and industry decision-makers. Confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition include Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether; Elizabeth Stark, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightning Labs; Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream; and Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3.

Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities, Plan ₿ Forum provides a platform for examining the role of Bitcoin in the global economy and the continued development of decentralised technologies. The wider programme also features startup exhibitions, industry networking and events connecting participants from different markets and professional backgrounds.

Beyond technological innovation, the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem raises important practical considerations for businesses and internationally mobile individuals. Corporate structures, taxation, regulatory requirements, international expansion and personal tax residency are increasingly relevant for entrepreneurs and investors operating across multiple jurisdictions.

These subjects closely align with the areas in which IBCCS TAX supports its international clients, making the forum a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge and establish new business relationships.

Meet the IBCCS TAX Team at Plan ₿ Forum 2026

IBCCS TAX will be represented at the event by members of its international leadership and business development teams from Cyprus and Georgia:

• Cezary Zieniuk – Founder, IBCCS TAX
• Jowita Jabłońska – Managing Partner, IBCCS TAX Cyprus
• Ketevan Aghoshashvili – Managing Partner, IBCCS TAX Georgia
• Gvantsa Kvintradze – Director of Business Development, IBCCS TAX Georgia

 

Their joint attendance reflects the international nature of IBCCS TAX and the importance of collaboration between its teams across different jurisdictions. By combining knowledge of local regulatory and tax environments with experience in cross-border advisory, the firm supports clients whose business activities and personal circumstances extend beyond a single country.

During the forum, our representatives look forward to connecting with business founders, investors, technology entrepreneurs, professional advisers and potential partners. Discussions may cover international business expansion, tax planning, company formation, relocation and the practical challenges of managing businesses and investments across jurisdictions.

The event also presents an opportunity to explore potential cooperation with other advisory firms, business service providers and organisations supporting internationally active clients. Building and maintaining these relationships is an important part of the IBCCS TAX approach to providing coordinated services across markets.

Supporting International Entrepreneurs, Investors and Digital Asset Businesses

As businesses become increasingly international and financial technologies evolve, entrepreneurs and investors face decisions that extend well beyond their immediate commercial activities. Choosing an appropriate corporate structure, understanding tax obligations, establishing residency and maintaining compliance across borders all require careful consideration.

For companies operating within the Bitcoin and digital asset ecosystem, these issues may become particularly complex when founders, shareholders, clients and business activities are located in different countries. Tax treatment and regulatory obligations can vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction, nature of the activity and structure through which it is conducted.

IBCCS TAX provides international advisory and corporate services designed to help businesses and individuals navigate these considerations, with particular expertise across Cyprus, Georgia, the UAE and Uzbekistan.

International Tax Planning and Digital Asset Taxation

International tax planning is an important consideration for entrepreneurs, investors and companies conducting business across multiple jurisdictions. Differences in corporate taxation, personal tax residency, income classification and reporting obligations can significantly affect how international operations and investments should be structured.

Through our International Tax Planning & Structuring services, IBCCS TAX assists clients with cross-border tax advisory, corporate structuring, double taxation treaty considerations and the development of commercially sustainable international arrangements.

For individuals and businesses dealing with digital assets, understanding the applicable tax treatment is particularly important. Transactions involving cryptocurrencies may give rise to different tax consequences depending on the jurisdiction, the taxpayer’s circumstances and the nature of the transactions involved.

Cyprus offers a relevant example following the introduction of its 2026 tax reform. Among other changes, the reform introduced a special 8% tax rate on qualifying gains from certain crypto-asset transactions, subject to specific conditions and exclusions. The applicable treatment requires careful assessment rather than assuming that every digital asset activity falls within the same framework.

These changes form part of the wider developments discussed in our guide to the Cyprus Tax Reform 2026, which examines the updated corporate and personal taxation framework.

For internationally active entrepreneurs and investors, reviewing tax obligations alongside business structures and personal residency arrangements can help establish a clearer foundation for future decisions.

Company Formation and International Business Expansion

For technology founders, digital entrepreneurs and international businesses, selecting the right jurisdiction is a strategic decision that can influence taxation, operational flexibility, access to markets and long-term business development.

While company registration may be relatively straightforward in certain jurisdictions, establishing a commercially sustainable structure requires consideration of corporate governance, management and control, banking arrangements, regulatory obligations and ongoing administration.

IBCCS TAX assists international clients through its Company Formation & Corporate Services, supporting them from the initial assessment of their business requirements through incorporation and subsequent corporate administration.

Our presence in Cyprus and Georgia allows us to assist entrepreneurs evaluating different options for establishing or expanding their businesses. In particular, company formation in Georgia can be relevant to international founders, technology businesses and service providers seeking a business environment with streamlined registration procedures and specific tax regimes for qualifying activities.

Rather than focusing exclusively on incorporation costs or headline tax rates, our approach considers the broader commercial objectives and compliance requirements of each client, helping establish structures appropriate to their actual operations.

Tax Residency, Relocation and International Mobility

For many entrepreneurs and investors, business location and personal residency are closely connected. International mobility creates opportunities to establish new business relationships and access different markets, but it also raises questions concerning tax residency, immigration requirements, the taxation of foreign income and existing business interests.

Through our Relocation & Immigration services, IBCCS TAX supports individuals and business owners considering an international move, helping them assess available options and understand the practical requirements of establishing residency in a new jurisdiction.

Cyprus remains an important destination for internationally mobile professionals, entrepreneurs and investors seeking an EU base. Its tax residency framework and Non-Dom regime may offer advantages for qualifying individuals, particularly in relation to certain categories of investment income. However, eligibility and tax treatment must be assessed against each person’s circumstances and existing obligations.

Georgia also offers opportunities for individuals considering relocation alongside business establishment. Through our IBCCS TAX Georgia team, we assist clients with relevant residency procedures, tax considerations and practical relocation requirements.

For entrepreneurs whose business activities, investments and personal interests span multiple countries, properly coordinating corporate and personal tax considerations can be essential to building a sustainable international strategy.

Accounting, Corporate Compliance and Ongoing Business Support

Establishing a company or relocating to another jurisdiction represents only one stage of international business planning. Maintaining a compliant and operationally effective structure requires continued attention to accounting, financial reporting, corporate obligations and local tax requirements.

IBCCS TAX provides Accounting & Compliance services to help businesses manage these responsibilities, including bookkeeping, financial reporting, tax filings and ongoing corporate administration.

For international companies operating across different markets, access to coordinated support can be particularly valuable. Our teams work with clients to address jurisdiction-specific requirements while taking their broader business activities and objectives into account.

Cyprus and Georgia: Local Expertise with an International Perspective

The participation of representatives from both Cyprus and Georgia at Plan ₿ Forum highlights the importance of international cooperation within IBCCS TAX and the growing demand for advisory services that can address business needs across multiple jurisdictions.

Cyprus provides an established EU business environment, an extensive double taxation treaty network and a regulatory framework relevant to international corporate structures and tax planning. Georgia, meanwhile, offers a business-friendly environment, accessible company registration procedures and specific tax arrangements that may be suitable for qualifying entrepreneurs and business activities.

These jurisdictions present different opportunities, and the most appropriate solution depends on the individual’s or company’s objectives, operations, ownership structure and tax position. Understanding how different requirements interact is particularly important when a business operates internationally or when its founders and shareholders reside in different countries.

Through our offices in Cyprus and Georgia, alongside our wider international presence in the UAE and Uzbekistan, IBCCS TAX combines local knowledge with cross-border coordination. Our aim is to provide practical support that extends from initial planning and company establishment to ongoing tax advisory, accounting and corporate compliance.

The conversations and connections developed during events such as Plan ₿ Forum play an important role in strengthening international relationships and identifying new opportunities for cooperation.
