1. Following Brexit, how can the UK broaden its horizons and become a great trading nation again?

2. How could the UK remain a world top investment destination in the wake of the Brexit? Would Brexit put you off investing in the UK or using UK companies as part of structures?

3. How will the British economy reshape itself following Brexit?

4. How will Brexit be practically realized?

5. Do you agree with a “hard” Brexit in which the borders of the UK would be closed to the free movement of people coming from the EU?

6. Generally speaking, how do you think corporate taxation will be affected by Brexit?

8. Will Brexit have any effect on the UK's commitment to any of BEPS' 15 Actions?

9. How will Brexit affect future free trade agreements (‘FTAs’) with countries outside the EU?

10. How will the UK government balance the political imperatives deriving from the referendum vote (primarily, the perceived need to control immigration) with the economic imperatives of maintaining open and dynamic markets? Will this mean that the UK tax system will diverge from the EU’s system or remain closely aligned with it?

11. What will have the greater impact: changes to the UK tax system following Brexit, or a change in the way that other European tax systems apply to the UK once it is no longer an EU member?
