SUMMARY:Tax Law Technology Conference "Large Language Model Agents for Tax Law Technology
DESCRIPTION:Brochure_TEC25_web \nRapid advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping the global tax landscape. As governments and businesses increasingly adopt Large Language Models (LLMs)\, agentic AI systems\, and data-driven compliance tools\, the boundaries between law\, technology\, and policy are being redrawn. Tax administrations are integrating automation into compliance and audit processes\, while multinational enterprises face growing demands for accuracy\, transparency\, and real-time reporting across jurisdictions. Emerging technologies such as blockchain\, quantum computing\, and Rule-as-Code frameworks are transforming how tax obligations are interpreted\, administered\, and enforced. Leveraging these technologies is no longer optional as it is becoming essential for ensuring effective tax governance\, safeguarding taxpayer rights\, and maintaining public trust in an increasingly digital fiscal environment. \nThis two-day event aims to bring together leading scholars\, practitioners from the private sector\, as well as tax administration and policymakers. The conference will critically examine the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence in practice ranging from data formats and procedural workflows to evolving legal norms and regulatory frameworks.

SUMMARY:Navigating Global Tax Governance: A workshop with African Tax Administration Forum
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Global Tax Governance: A workshop with African Tax Administration Forum \nLecturers \nProf. Dr. Irma Mosquera \nProfessor of Global Tax Governance\, Lead Researcher GLOBTAXGOV that investigates Global Tax Governance and EU Jean Monnet Chair Holder EUTAXGOV E-mail i.j.mosquera.valderrama@law.leidenuniv.nl \nLecturers Leiden University \nDr. Bastiaan van Gaanzen Leiden University\nTaufiq Adiyanto External PhD Leiden University \nGuest lecturers\nProf. Jérôme Monsenego Stockholm University\nProf. Afton Titus University of Cape Town\nCassandra Vet University of Antwerpen\nProf. Filip Debelva KU Leuven University\nProf. Peter Hongler St. Gallen University\nMr. Tofigh Hasen Nezhad Nisi \nATAF lecturers\nEmmanuel Eze\nBetty Ahwera\nMercy Mbithi \nDates \n14 November 2025\, 13:00 UTC – 16:00 UTC \n21 November 2025\, 13:00 UTC – 16:00 UTC \n28 November 2025\, 13:00 UTC – 16:00 UTC \n5 December 2025\, 13:00 UTC – 16:00 UTC \nVenue \nOnline \nSummary \nSince the 2008 financial crisis\, multilateral cooperation in international tax law has developed at a fast pace. Currently\, OECD and non-OECD countries have agreed to introduce international tax policy standards to tackle aggressive tax planning\, to introduce a global minimum tax and to tax digital business among others. For individual countries\, multilateral cooperation can result in economic benefits\, but navigating the global governance architecture also bears many challenges. How to effectively engage in global governance processes? How to evaluate the outcomes?\nIn this workshop we will discuss the content of international tax standards and analyze the policy objectives and strategies pursued by different international\, supranational and regional organizations\, such as the United Nations\, the OECD\, the EU\, among others\, in the process. We will also pay attention to the challenges to the current structure of global governance due to the interactions between policy norms and legal instruments in the tax\, trade and investment area.\nIn the first part\, we will address how the global tax governance architecture has emerged and map the contemporary environment of international actors. Thereafter\, we will discuss governance processes and actors involved in three case studies of specific policy areas: the role of the EU in the dissemination of BEPS standards\, the taxation of the digital economy\, and the introduction of a global minimum tax. In each case study\, we will pay particular attention to the engagement of non-OECD countries with international institutions and the interaction between tax\, trade and investment policy objectives and rules. In the final part of the workshop\, we will discuss global tax governance under the lens of legitimacy and attempt to draw broader conclusions about the role of different actors in multilateral cooperation. Special attention will be given to the ongoing negotiation of the UN Framework Tax Convention and its two Protocols under the lens of legitimacy. \nProcedure\nEvery session consists of lecture elements\, input from ATAF\, and general debates among all participants. In the lecture elements\, the theoretical foundations will be exposed by Leiden University researchers. In the applied part\, guest lecturers from ATAF discuss the topic based on examples from the region and based on ATAF’s experience in engaging in global tax governance. For the general debate\, all participants are expected to actively participate and share their own experiences with the topic. To prepare for each session\, all participants are requested to read the literature and complete the assignments.

SUMMARY:High-Level Regional Tax Conference Asian Development Bank
DESCRIPTION:Description\nDomestic resource mobilization (DRM) continues to be a major strategic priority for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and its developing member countries (DMC). It is now more important than ever for our developing member countries (DMCs) to address debt sustainability and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many developing countries are still dealing with high debt levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic which have been further exacerbated by the disruption in global supply chains caused by increasing geopolitical tensions. Many DMCs in the Asia Pacific region have a tax-to-GDP ratio below the 15% benchmark that is considered the minimum level needed to achieve sustainable growth. This region is falling short on all 17 SDGs. While the role of external finance is crucial in filling the fiscal gaps of DMCs\, DRM (which is included as SDG Goal 17) is the indispensable foundation for achieving all the other SDGs and for supporting a strong\, inclusive and green recovery. \nInternational tax cooperation (ITC) can also play a key role in assisting DMCs to work together to close the tax loopholes exploited by aggressive tax planning and combat tax evasion. The consensus-based Two-Pillar solution to address tax challenges arising from digitalization of economy has great potential for helping DMCs collect additional revenue for building a prosperous\, inclusive\, resilient\, and sustainable future. However\, international cooperation on tax issues in this region is still lagging. The rate of participation in international tax initiatives such as the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS IF) and the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes (Global Forum) shows room for improvement. The introduction of the Global Minimum Tax rules has significantly changed the landscape of tax incentives and developing countries are affected by these rules irrespective of participation levels. \nADB officially launched the Asia Pacific Tax Hub (APTH) at the 54th ADB Annual Meeting in 2021. The APTH serves as an open and inclusive platform for strategic policy dialogue\, knowledge sharing\, and development coordination among ADB\, its member countries\, and development partners. The APTH Secretariat organized the first High- Level Regional Tax Conference (HLRTC) that underscored the importance of DRM in achieving the SDGs and the core role of the APTH in the taxation agenda in Asia and the Pacific. Held in November 2021\, the event brought together officials of tax policy and administration agencies from ADB members\, senior representatives of development partners (IMF\, OECD\, and World Bank)\, ADB staff\, and other stakeholders who presented their experiences and brainstormed in plenary and breakout sessions. This knowledge exchange on reform experiences highlighted the challenges governments face in domestic resource mobilization and identified the possible support needed for future tax system reforms. \nObjectives\nThe High-Level Regional Tax Conference 2025 will serve as a platform for all stakeholders to conduct strategic dialogues on emerging and priority areas on domestic resource mobilization and international tax cooperation\, and the latest updates from international tax fora; learn good practices in tax administration and effective strategies for tax reforms; and share country-specific experiences in strengthening the capacity of tax administration. \nTarget participants\nThe target audience would be heads of tax policy and administration agencies from ADB members. Senior representatives of development partners (IMF\, OECD\, and World Bank)\, ADB staff and other stakeholders will be invited to contribute to the technical sessions. \nEvent organizers / partners\nAsia Pacific Tax Hub\, ADB

She is also the  EU Jean Monnet Chair Holder on the topic EU Tax Governance (EUTAXGOV)\, and Lead Researcher of the European Research Council (ERC) Funded Project that investigates Global Tax Governance (GLOBTAXGOV). \nContact details: Email i.j.mosquera.valderrama@law.leidenuniv.nl \nBackground\nCarbon border adjustment mechanism is a policy tool that the EU is using to ensure that trade with EU complies with its internal standards on emissions. That is\, emissions embedded in imports are capped and priced implicitly equivalent to the EU. While in its first phase it applies to six sectors\, over time the scope of the measure will expand. This is expected to have an impact on developing countries that export products such as iron and steel\, cement\, aluminum and fertilizers to the EU. Not all exporters have similar emissions standards and pricing mechanisms. While the measure is a step in the right direction\, it is does not take into account different levels of development and pace of decarbonisation. CBAM will impose costs of compliance on exporters from developing countries and in many cases render them uncompetitive. \nWhile CBAM applies to goods exports\, there is an interlinkage between the technological advancements and carbon emissions. To run complex computational models would require more energy and this would mean that unless countries meet their energy requirements from renewables\, the technological advancements including trade of bitcoins would lead to higher emissions. A more important point to consider is that data centers are located in United States (3736) and Europe (3017).  Thus it is important to explore the spatial contribution to the emissions. Export of digital services also contributes to emissions and it is estimated that at the end of the decade 2.5 billion tonnes will be emitted by the data centers. A large contribution to this will be from the big tech companies. As per another estimate data centers currently contribute 2% of GHG emissions. Their contribution is therefore not insignificant. Thus even as EU plans to impose an emission standard for goods trade where CBAM certificates are priced equivalent to the emission trading system\, such emissions that are generated from services also need thought as countries and regions plan digitalization. \nThis workshop wants to address these challenges with a focus on ADB Member Countries. The first day of the workshop will focus on the understanding of the CBAM\, some ADB countries practices\, and an assessment on whether the CBAM will be effective to cut carbon emissions. In order to do that\, the first day will provide a multidisciplinary perspective from trade\, economy\, tax and investment. \nThe second day of the workshop will address the challenges of ADB countries in achieving a sustainable environmental policy in light of the AI development and the growing digital transformation in Asia. The main question addressed will be how to reduce carbon emissions from the use of data centers? What are the obstacles\, challenges and opportunities for ADB countries. Finally this day will conclude with a proposal for a Sustainable Green AI adoption policy for all countries. \nSeveral authors from Asian Development Bank Member countries in Asia and Europe have been invited to present their papers on topics such CBAM\, AI\, Environmental Sustainable Development\, Regional Frameworks\, among others. This workshop is also organized in the framework of the Strategic Partnership between Leiden University and ADB. More information on this partnership available here. \n\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhD Global Tax Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The event will be held in a hybrid format\, both online and on face-to-face\, the days 15 and 16 September 2025. \nThe symposium focuses on the challenges of the international tax system and the right and tax polity in the different jurisdiction of the contemporary world. The politics in charge\, the enterprises and people are faces with a number of international and national challenges that go from the rapid digitalisation of the economy\, climate change\, the development of capacities in income mobilisation\, to the formulation of international fair and equitable tax politics. The global endorsement of the Two Pillar Solution and the application of the Pilar II in a number of jurisdiction have been a new challenge for the tax administration and the compliance with tax obligations from governments and enterprises\, and they have raised new issues about the fair assignation of the financial incomes between jurisdictions. Recent events\, actions and reactions of the tax global governance make this encounter unique to debate the present tendencies in international\, supranational and national tax legislation and policies. With this backdrop\, this symposium has as goal explore ideas and approaches to face the challenges of international taxation and the national tax evolution. \nThe symposium takes research contributions both theoretical and empirical. The themes of interest include\, within others\, the institutional development of an international fair tax policy\, inclusive and equitable; the implementation of Pilar II (or a global minimum tax) and the challenges for the legal systems and administrative at international and/or national level; the sustainability of the generation of fiscal incomes in the digital era; the taxation and environment; inequality and wealth taxation; global taxation governance; and the implications of the automation and artificial intelligence for the income and general consumption taxes. \nThe symposium offers a unique opportunity for the doctorates and junior researchers that contribute with innovative ideas and critique existent students about taxation\, could benefit with the debated with experts of different disciplines and jurisdictions\, and develop research networks and professionals for the development of their careers. \nIf you are interested in participating in the GTS doctorate symposium\, send an abstract with no more than 300 words in Word or Adobe PDF format to tax@uv.es. The selected works will be presented in the symposium and will receive commentaries of a group of experts in the relevant theme. \nThe presentation deadline ends on 30 May 2025. The authors of the accepted lectures will be notified before 15 June 2025. To consult the past sessions of the symposium about global taxation of doctorates\, look in this web.

SUMMARY:The operations of multinational businesses in conflict areas - towards the development of a conceptual operational framework\, the LEIDEN Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Seminar: The operations of multinational businesses in conflict areas – towards the development of a conceptual operational framework\, the LEIDEN Protocol\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn October 2023\, the French Supreme Court\, in its confirmatory judgement\, ruled that Lafarge France and four of its former executives should stand trial for financing of terrorism in Syria. This landmark declaration is arguably the first time in international business history that an MNC and its executives will be charged for terrorism financing in their home country for their alleged actions in a host country. This was the outcome of a legal challenge instituted in France by 11 former employees of the company in Syria and their supporters who alleged that Lafarge paid circa $15.3 million to some jihadist groups\, including the Islamic State. This was to facilitate the continued production and distribution of cement from their factory located in the northern part of the country during the early days of the war up until 2015\, when the factory was closed. This judgement brought to the fore the increasing dangers faced by MNCs (and their executives)  operating in conflict areas. \nInspired by the above landmark ruling and with funding from the Leiden University Global Fund\, two Leiden University professors (Chibuike Uche\, ASCL and Irma Mosquera Valderrama\, Law)\, and three of their international colleagues  (Ayodeji Olukoju\, University of Lagos)\, Paul Kamau (University of Nairobi)\, and Abel Ezeoha (Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike) commenced the process of developing a framework for the operations of MNCs in conflict areas (The LEIDEN Protocol). The first draft of this protocol will be presented by the team during the said seminar to representatives of  MNCs\, academia\, governments\, and non-governmental organisations in the Netherlands for their critique and input. \nSpecifically\, the Protocol will focus on the following summarised proposals\, which they believe will help protect the long-term interest of MNCs operating in conflict territories. This\, they also believe\, will be in line with the long-term interest of the host jurisdictions of such MNCs: \n\nLEGALITY of MNC operations in host territories should be guided by the higher of home or host country standards.\nETHICAL standards adopted by MNCs in host jurisdictions should be the higher of home or host country standards.\nINDIGENOUS and foreign staff safety should be governed by uniform standards in host jurisdictions.\nDELINKING of host country operations from headquarters oversight during conflict must be accompanied by divestment.\nENTANGLEMENT of MNCs in host country politics should be discouraged.\nNEUTRALITY of MNCs in international politics and conflicts.\n\nThe hosting of this seminar on the LEIDEN protocol in Leiden is historic. The Dutch East India Company was a pioneer in the development of MNCs\, and Leiden University is the oldest University in the Netherlands. \nThis event takes place within the framework of the LGF Seed Fund 2024. \nImage: Cour de Cassation\, Paris (2 April 2014)”\, by Daniel Vorndran (DXR)\, CC BY‑SA 3.0 \n\n\n\n\n\nDate\, time and location\n\n\n08 July 2025\n\n\n\n\n15:00-17:00\n\n\n\n\nHerta Mohrgebouw / Faculty of Humanities\, Witte Singel 27a\, 2311 BG Leiden\n\n\n\n\n0.31\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\nClick here to register for this event

SUMMARY:Digital Economy Indo-Pacific: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Workshop invitation 21 and 22 Nov 2024\nGlobal Value Chains of Digital Economy in the Indo-Pacific: Challenges and Opportunities \nWorkshop  21-22 November 2024\nHybrid (online/onsite)\nOn 21 and 22 November\, the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) together with Irma Mosquera Valderrama (GLOBTAXGOV Project at the Leiden Law School -Leiden University)\, Julien Chaisse (City University of Hong Kong and Asia Pacific FDI Network) and George Dimitropolous (Hamad Bin Khalifa University)\, organizes a (hybrid) workshop on Global Value Chains of Digital Economy in the Indo-Pacific: Challenges and Opportunities.  \nDate\nThursday 21 November from 13-17:30 p.m.  and Friday 22 November from 8:30-11:30 a.m.    \nTime zone: Central European Time CET (Amsterdam\, Berlin\, Paris) \nWho should attend?\nThis seminar is addressed to academics\, including junior and senior researchers\, government officials\, policy makers (EU\, regional and international organizations)\, among others. \nInterest to attend can be registered by emailing i.j.mosquera.valderrama@law.leidenuniv.nl. \nRegistration is free. Spaces are limited. \nVenue\nOnsite: Faculteitskamer Rechten\, Academic Building\, Leiden University \nRapenburg 73\, Leiden\, the Netherlands \nOnline: Link via ZOOM: When registered\, you will receive a link for the event the day before the seminar. \nBackground\nDigital economy is guiding the business connectivity\, market mechanisms\, investments\, business incubation\, and cooperation for Digital Public Infrastructure across borders. In the digital economy ecology\, developing economies in the Indo-Pacific require to exchange and cooperate\, and synergize their human resource capacities and infrastructure. The cooperation for digital connectivity in the Indo-Pacific must focus on the following overarching question: \n What are the challenges before the developing regions of Indo-Pacific\, and their preparedness and preparation to participate in the supply chains of digital economy? The digital economy has arrived rather abruptly for most developing regions\, including some parts of Asia and Africa\, even before these regions could fully participate in the value chains of manufacturing and industries. These economies have a mixed corps of education\, innovation\, technology and regulatory capacities\, as well as investments in supply chain infrastructure. For example\, India has created successful digital public infrastructure for fintech and payments and is home to several unicorns. Many ASEAN member countries have thriving start-up eco-systems\, and ASEAN is now working on its Digital Economy Framework. At the same time\, several countries in Europe have a thriving digital economy ecology and the EU is forward-looking in the rules and governance of digital economy and the AI – also with an extraterritorial scope. \nYet\, the future of work in developing economies will be determined by the rules of cooperation\, and investments in infrastructure and capacities for digital economy. The emerging cooperation with and the role of the G7 and non-G7 countries will be important for the development of services\, human capital\, regulations for data protection\, e-commerce\, and taxation – for securing the quality\, resilience\, and longevity of supply chains of the digital economy. Research to identify the conditions under which emerging and developing countries in Indo-Pacific\, especially developing Asia\, can be better integrated in the Global Value Chains of the digital economy is important. The same applies to identifying the challenges\, and addressing the conditions under which digital infrastructure and institutional capacities can be carried out in a plurilateral framework among partners in Asia\, and between Asia and Europe under the Asia-Europe connectivity plans. Capacities in India and ASEAN around startups and DPIs can be optimally utilized by regional partners in Asia and Europe. \nIntegrating developing economies into the digital economy is vital for global investment and trade\, as it ensures regulatory consistency\, enhances cybersecurity\, and addresses infrastructure deficiencies. This integration fosters a stable and secure environment for cross-border transactions\, attracting sustained investments. It also promotes resilient global value chains\, encourages innovation\, and drives inclusive economic growth\, which is essential for a balanced and equitable international trade system. However\, the integration of developing economies in the Indo-Pacific into the digital economy presents several fundamental legal and policy challenges. \nThis workshop aims to address these challenges and for this purpose\, several authors from Indo-Pacific region have been invited to present their papers on topics such as Artificial Intelligence\, Cybersecurity\, Global Value Chain\, Regional Frameworks\, among others. These authors will be presenting their papers in the workshop of 21 and November 2024\, open to public. This workshop follows the workshop (closed for authors) that took place on the 18th of October 2024. \nProgramme              \nEach presentation will have 20 minutes followed by 20 minutes input by discussants\, and 10 minutes Q&A \n21 November 2024 \nAll times are Central European Time (CET) \n13:00-13:15               Welcome and Introduction by Anita Prakash (Senior Policy Advisor ERIA) \n13:15-14:05               Julien Chaisse and George Dimitropoulos \nDigital Transformation in the Indo-Pacific \n14:05-14:55               Anita Prakash and Lurong Chen \nOverarching Demands for Participation in and Expansion of Digital Economy in the Indo-Pacific \n14:55-15:10               Coffee Break  \n15:10-16:00               Suranjali Tandon \n                                    Taxing the Mobile \n16:00-16:50               Jason Grant Allen \nMiddle Power “Norm Entrepreneurship” and the Challenges of Implementation in the Indo-Pacific Digital Economy \n16:50-17:20              Governance and the Digital Economy: A case study \n                                   Guest Speaker Jurian Lock – Leiden Law School \n17:20-17:30               Closing words Irma Mosquera \n22 November 2024 \n8:30-9:20                   Rostam J.

SUMMARY:PhD Global Tax Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Final – Call for Papers 2024 PhD GTS \nThe 2024 PhD Global Tax Symposium will be organised and hosted by the University of New South Wales (UNSW). The event will be held online.\nDate: August 29-30\, 2024 \nThe symposium focuses on the challenges of the international tax system and of tax law and policy of individual jurisdictions in the contemporary world. Policymakers\, businesses and people are confronted with a series of international and domestic challenges from rapid digitalisation of the economy\, climate change\, capacity building on revenue mobilisation\, to fair and equitable international tax policymaking. The global endorsement of the Two-Pillar Solution and the implementation of Pillar II in a number of jurisdictions have further challenged tax administration and compliance for governments and businesses\, and raised new questions on fair allocation of tax revenues among jurisdictions. Against this backdrop\, this symposium aims to explore insights and ideas of approaches to addressing challenging issues on international taxation and domestic tax development.\nThe symposium welcomes both theoretical and empirical research contributions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:\n•institutional development of fair\, inclusive and equitable international tax policymaking;\n•the implementation of Pillar II (or a global minimum tax) and challenges to legal and administrative systems at international and/or domestic levels;\n•the sustainability of tax revenue generation in the digital age;\n•taxation and the environment;\n•inequality and wealth taxation; and\n•implications of automation and artificial intelligence for taxes on income and general consumption. \nThe symposium provides a unique opportunity for PhD candidates and early-career researchers to contribute innovative and critical thinking to the existing scholarship on taxation\, to benefit from discussions with experts across disciplines and jurisdictions\, and to develop research and professional networks for career development. \nIf you are interested in participating in the PhD GTS\, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words in Word or Adobe PDF format to yan.xu@unsw.edu.au. Selected papers will be presented in the symposium and will receive feedback from a panel of experts on the relevant topic. \nThe deadline for submission is May 30\, 2024. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by June 15\, 2024. \n

SUMMARY:Postgraduate online training The EU’s Global Regulatory Power and the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance
DESCRIPTION:The EU’s Global Regulatory Power and the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance \nThis postgraduate online training will have 5 sessions starting on the 17 of May 2024 (every Friday) until 14 of June 2024. Thereafter on the 20 September  we will conclude this training with a hybrid (online/onsite) seminar. \nThe postgraduate online training has an academic character but with interactive discussions among participants on the content of the course\, and the training of skills. We will have guest lecturers with different backgrounds (policy maker\, government official\, regional organization representative\, etc). \nThe hybrid (online/onsite) seminar of 20 September 2024 aims for a policy oriented outcome. We will provide some recommendations to policy makers in the EU Institutions\, regional organizations in the Global South and countries that need to be considered when addressing the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance. \nThis Postgraduate online training is open to tax\, trade\, investment government officials and researchers\, of Asia\, Africa and Latin American and Caribbean countries and to policy makers working at regional institutions in the Global South. \nThis Course is part of the Jean Monnet Chair EUTAXGOV. \nAbout the course\nIn 2013\, news media around the world highlighted a growing crisis in many states: a steady decrease in contributions to public finances by many high-profile multinational companies and high net worth individuals. This decrease was associated with the ability of sophisticated taxpayers to shift otherwise taxable income and transactions out of the tax base\, in a phenomenon that the OECD has recently labelled “Base erosion and profit shifting”\, or BEPS. Examples of artificial profit shifting by multinationals are the tax scandals of Apple\, Google\, Starbucks\, and Amazon. These multinationals have used artificial strategies to shift from higher jurisdictions to lower tax (friendly) jurisdictions. \nTo address the issue\, the European Union introduced an anti-avoidance package that deals with tax avoidance and ensures fair competition whereby companies are required to pay tax wherever they make their profits in the EU. However\, the EU did not limit its action towards its own member states\, but also developed a Standard of Good Tax Governance that is relevant for its relations with third countries. The Standard requires third countries to adopt principles of transparency\, fair taxation\, and the four BEPS minimum standard developed by the OECD with the political mandate of the G20 within their tax systems. However\, this policy has attracted controversy. Especially\, when the EU started publishing a list of non-cooperative jurisdictions in tax matters\, many stakeholders started questioning the EU’s role in global tax policy making. What is the effect of the EU’s policies on developing countries? Is the approach effective in tackling tax avoidance or does it cause unintentional harm? \nIn light of the above\, this course aims to contribute to the international tax debate by analyzing the international tax policies and the extent to which these policies are also adopted by the European Commission in their external relations with third (non-EU) countries. For this purpose\, this course will analyse the use of the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance vis-à-vis third (non-EU) countries using EU law theories such as export/import EU Standards\, the EU regulatory power and the role of the EU Institutions in light of the EU External Policy among others. This course will also address questions related to the conditions under which the state aid investigations and the role of the EU in setting up the international standard of good governance and fair competition can be legitimate with respect to EU and third (non-EU) countries? \nNB: This course will not deal with EU indirect taxation. \nLocation and dates\nThe course will be given online (via zoom). \nThe course is divided into 5 sessions taking place on Fridays from 13 to 17 Central European Summer time (CEST). The dates are: \n\nSession 1 – 17 May 2024\nSession 2 – 24 May 2024\nSession 3 – 31 May 2024\nSession 4 – 7 June 2024\nSession 5 – 14 June 2024\n\nIn addition\, participants of the postgraduate training will be invited to attend the hybrid (online/onsite) seminar at Leiden Law School 19 June 2024. \nCourse Objectives\nUpon successful completion of this course\, participants will have enhanced their research\, public speaking\, leadership\, presenting\, academic writing\, and social skills (cooperation\, working in groups). \nParticipants will gain. \n\nUnderstanding of taxation and of the current international tax debate\nUnderstanding of the EU’s regulatory power vis-à-vis third (non-EU) countries\n\nBy addressing global tax governance\, fair taxation and EU Tax Good Governance this course will contribute to \n\nRaise participants’ awareness of the imposition of global tax (and EU) standards to developed and developing countries.\n\nAchievement levels\nAt the end of the course participants will have the tools to understand and critically engage with the EU’s global regulatory power and the EU standard of tax good governance. \nCourse work\nDuring the course\, active participation by the participants is required. Participants are encouraged to work in a group (2 to 3 participants) to ensure the exchange of ideas in the project and (also) the cooperation between participants of different countries. \nTo be able to effectively engage\, participates are requested to read one mandatory paper before each session. In addition\, participants will be required to prepare and submit in writing documents (essay/policy paper) analysing one or two questions provided for the session. The final session will also provide the opportunity to present in class their own analysis in a position paper of the EU regulatory power by using the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance. \nThe 5 best presentations will be invited to present in a hybrid (online/onsite) seminar (open to public) scheduled on 19 June 2024. \nCertificate\nSuccessful completion of this course will result in a certificate of the course provided by Het Juridische PAO (JPAO) (Leiden Law Conference).

SUMMARY:Postgraduate online training The EU’s Global Regulatory Power and the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance
DESCRIPTION:The EU’s Global Regulatory Power and the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance \nThis postgraduate online training will have 5 sessions starting on the 17 of May 2024 (every Friday) until 14 of June 2024. Thereafter on the 20 September  we will conclude this training with a hybrid (online/onsite) seminar. \nThe postgraduate online training has an academic character but with interactive discussions among participants on the content of the course\, and the training of skills. We will have guest lecturers with different backgrounds (policy maker\, government official\, regional organization representative\, etc). \nThe hybrid (online/onsite) seminar of 20 September 2024 aims for a policy oriented outcome. We will provide some recommendations to policy makers in the EU Institutions\, regional organizations in the Global South and countries that need to be considered when addressing the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance. \nThis Postgraduate online training is open to tax\, trade\, investment government officials and researchers\, of Asia\, Africa and Latin American and Caribbean countries and to policy makers working at regional institutions in the Global South. \nThis Course is part of the Jean Monnet Chair EUTAXGOV. \nAbout the course\nIn 2013\, news media around the world highlighted a growing crisis in many states: a steady decrease in contributions to public finances by many high-profile multinational companies and high net worth individuals. This decrease was associated with the ability of sophisticated taxpayers to shift otherwise taxable income and transactions out of the tax base\, in a phenomenon that the OECD has recently labelled “Base erosion and profit shifting”\, or BEPS. Examples of artificial profit shifting by multinationals are the tax scandals of Apple\, Google\, Starbucks\, and Amazon. These multinationals have used artificial strategies to shift from higher jurisdictions to lower tax (friendly) jurisdictions. \nTo address the issue\, the European Union introduced an anti-avoidance package that deals with tax avoidance and ensures fair competition whereby companies are required to pay tax wherever they make their profits in the EU. However\, the EU did not limit its action towards its own member states\, but also developed a Standard of Good Tax Governance that is relevant for its relations with third countries. The Standard requires third countries to adopt principles of transparency\, fair taxation\, and the four BEPS minimum standard developed by the OECD with the political mandate of the G20 within their tax systems. However\, this policy has attracted controversy. Especially\, when the EU started publishing a list of non-cooperative jurisdictions in tax matters\, many stakeholders started questioning the EU’s role in global tax policy making. What is the effect of the EU’s policies on developing countries? Is the approach effective in tackling tax avoidance or does it cause unintentional harm? \nIn light of the above\, this course aims to contribute to the international tax debate by analyzing the international tax policies and the extent to which these policies are also adopted by the European Commission in their external relations with third (non-EU) countries. For this purpose\, this course will analyse the use of the EU Standard of Tax Good Governance vis-à-vis third (non-EU) countries using EU law theories such as export/import EU Standards\, the EU regulatory power and the role of the EU Institutions in light of the EU External Policy among others. This course will also address questions related to the conditions under which the state aid investigations and the role of the EU in setting up the international standard of good governance and fair competition can be legitimate with respect to EU and third (non-EU) countries? \nNB: This course will not deal with EU indirect taxation. \nLocation and dates\nThe course will be given online (via zoom). \nThe course is divided into 5 sessions taking place on Fridays from 13 to 17 Central European Summer time (CEST).
