SUMMARY:Navigating Global Tax Governance: A workshop with African Tax Administration Forum

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: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:PhD Global Tax Symposium 2026: Call for Papers
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 PhD Global Tax Symposium will be organized and hosted by the University of Pretoria (South Africa). The event will be held in a hybrid format\, both online and in presence.\nDate: September 28 – 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Global Tax Symposia (GTS) \nThe Global Tax Symposia (GTS) are dedicated as an interdisciplinary research platform on fundamental issues of international and comparative taxation. They bring together researchers and scholars from Africa\, America\, Asia-Pacific and Europe to explore contemporary tax issues shaped by the global politics and economy. The GTS offer two forums each year for researchers and scholars to engage in discussion of cutting-edge issues in tax law and policy with one for early-career researchers\, labelled as PhD Global Tax Symposium\, and one for more experienced scholars\, named Global Tax Symposium. The papers selected for the two forums of the GTS will be each commented by an interdisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional panel with panel members from academia\, professional institutes\, and government agencies.\n\nThe GTS have been supported by the following institutions:\n\nAfrica: University of Pretoria (South Africa); Americas: Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (Argentina)\, University of São Paulo (Brazil)\, UNAM (Mexico) McGill University (Canada)\, New York University (United States of America); Asia: Wuhan University (People’s Republic of China)\, Meiji University (Japan)\, National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (India)\, Gadaj Madah University (Indonesia)\, King Saud University (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)\, University of Seoul (South Korea); Asia-Pacific: the University of Melbourne (Australia)\, the University of New South Wales (Australia)\, University of Auckland (New Zealand); Europe: University of Louvain (Belgium)\, Sorbonne Law School (France)\, University of Münster (Germany)\, Leiden University and ERC funded project GLOBTAXGOV (the Netherlands)\, Moscow State University (Russian Federation)\, Stockholm University (Sweden)\, Koç University (Turkey)\, Ferrara University (Italy)\, Valencia University (Spain) and London School of Economics (United Kingdom).\n\nThe 2026 PhD Global Tax Symposium will be organized and hosted by the University of Pretoria (South Africa). The event will be held in a hybrid format\, both online and in presence.\nDate: September 28 – 29\, 2026 \n\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 the rapid digitalisation of the economy\, climate change\, capacity building for revenue mobilisation\, to fair and equitable international tax policymaking. The implementation of the OECD Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax Model Rules in a number of jurisdictions and the OECD Pillar Two Side-by-Side Package have posed further challenges to tax administration and compliance for governments and businesses\, and raised new questions regarding fair allocation of tax revenues among jurisdictions. The envisaged changes to the global tax governance under the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation create a further unique encounter to discuss current trends in ensuring inclusive and effective international tax norm setting. In addition\, multinational\, bilateral\, and unilateral tax rules can produce diverse\, overlapping\, and fragmented outcomes—creating complexity\, double taxation\, and opportunities for tax arbitrage across international\, supranational\, and domestic tax law and policy.\n\nAgainst this backdrop\, this symposium aims to explore insights and ideas of approaches to addressing challenging issues on international taxation and domestic tax developments. The symposium welcomes both theoretical and empirical research contributions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:\n\n 	institutional development of fair\, inclusive and equitable international tax policymaking; the implementation of OECD Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax Model Rules and challenges to legal and administrative systems at international and/or domestic levels; the sustainability of tax revenue generation in the digital age; taxation and the environment; inequality and wealth taxation; global tax governance; the challenges posed by multilateral\, bilateral and unilateral tax systems and implications of automation and artificial intelligence for taxes on income and general consumption.\n\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 2026 PhD GTS\, please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words in Word or Adobe PDF format to ati@up.ac.za 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\, 2026. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by June 15\, 2026.
