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). This Institution organizes and facilitates post-academic teaching for lawyers and other legal professionals. \nMain instructors\nProf. Irma Mosquera Valderrama\, Professor of Tax Governance\, EU Jean Monnet Chair Holder in EU Tax Governance (EUTAXGOV)\, and Lead Researcher ERC Funded Project on Global Tax Governance (GLOBTAXGOV)\, Leiden Law School\, Leiden University \nFrederik Heitmüller\, Lecturer at Tax Law Department\, Leiden Law School\, Leiden University and researcher at GLOBTAXGOV and EUTAXGOV projects \nGuest speakers\n\nAfrican Tax Administration Forum Representative\nFranco Roccagliata (former EU Commision)\nAndrea Laura Riccardi (Academic)\nFernando Serrano Anton (Academic)\nJohan Langerock EU Parliament\nOther speakers working at EU Parliament (t.b.c.)\n\nTarget group and prerequisites\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.  Maximum number of participants 50. \nShort description of topics\nDuring five days\, consisting in sessions of four hours each\, we will explore the European Union’s regulatory power in shaping tax policy around the world.

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.

SUMMARY:Towards Trustworthy AI From the Perspective of Tax Administrations and Taxpayers
DESCRIPTION:WU Global Tax Policy Center (WU GTPC) is pleased to invite you to the workshop “Towards Trustworthy AI From the Perspective of Tax Administrations and Taxpayers” organised in partnership with the WU Tax Law Technology Center\, University of Leiden and Validate AI\, which will take place in Vienna on 15 May\, 2024 from 9:30 – 18.00 at WU Campus\, EA building\, Foyer. \nAs AI becomes more embedded in every aspect of our lives\, much of the public debate around it focuses on the question of how we can ensure AI systems are trustworthy. \nWhile there are many different approaches being explored in this context\, such as new ethics and regulatory frameworks\, standards\, impact assessment\, testing\, validation\, and certification methods will all play an important role in providing the assurances users need to trust AI systems. We are still a long way from understanding how effective assurance mechanisms can be operationalized in practice\, and for this workshop are concerned with how tax administrations deliver trusted AI with a focus on legal considerations. \nA major objective of the event is to capitalise on the vast multi-disciplinary expertise of the carefully selected invitees* to help develop guidance on how we effectively assure AI for the Tax sector applications and particularly considering the legal challenges. \n Agenda workshop

SUMMARY:Roundtable: UN vs. OECD – Quo Vadis International Tax Governance?
DESCRIPTION: About\nInternational tax governance is at a crossroads institutionally. Several countries have questioned the current leading role of the OECD. Moreover\, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on the promotion of an inclusive and effective tax cooperation at the UN in December 2022 and a detailed report by the Secretary-General was published in July 2023. \nThe goal of this roundtable is to deal with the main questions to be addressed while creating a new governing body in the international tax field. There is currently an intense debate about whether parts of the tax work of the OECD should and could be shifted to the UN. However\, before such potential shift several fundamental issues (e.g. goals and structure of the new body) need to be solved. The roundtable aims at outlining the various options\, advantages and disadvantages in an impartial form. \nDate\nThursday\, 23 November\, 1 – 4 pm Central European Time (CET) \nLocation: ZOOM \nRegistration\nTo register for attending the event online and to obtain a ZOOM link\, please use the following link: https://www.formdesk.com/universiteitleiden/un-resolution \nProgram\n1.00-1.15             Introduction \n1.15-2.15             What are the goals of the new body?  \n2.15 – 3.15         What could be the structure of the new body?  \n3.15 – 3.45          What could be the relationship to the existing regimes/organizations/political forums? \n3.45 – 4.00          How to make it happen?   \nSpeakers\n\nMs. Ezgi Arik External PhD Candidate Leiden Law School\nMs. Mary Baine Deputy Executive Secretary and Head of Member Services and Domestic Resource Mobilisation at the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF)\nDr. Dirk Broekhuijsen Tax Lecturer Leiden Law School\nDr. Martin Hearson Research Fellow at IDS\, co-Research Director of the ICTD and the International Tax programme\nDr. Peter Hongler Professor of Tax Law\, University of St. Gallen\, Director IFF-HSG\nDr. Irma Mosquera Valderrama.
