Mission and vision of the Global Tax Symposia

The Global Tax Symposia is organized by a committee of tax academics from universities from around the world. The mission of the Global Tax Symposia is to be an interdisciplinary mobile research platform on fundamental issues of international and comparative taxation. It is grounded in the belief that crossing African, American, Asian-Pacific and European perspectives is beneficial to all participants, especially in the current political and economic global context. It aims to offer early-career researchers and experienced scholars a forum in which to share their preliminary or finished thesis chapters, as well as their research related papers, benefitting from interdisciplinary and intercontinental panels of discussants from around the world. Each paper is discussed by an interdisciplinary and intercontinental panel of leading tax academics, tax practitioners, tax officials and tax policymakers. The interactions at the symposium will acquaint experts with the ongoing innovations in research and provide researchers valuable expert feedback. Previous symposia presentations can be found here: 2019, 2020 and 2021. 

The 2022 Symposium is hosted by May Hen-Smith, Post-doctoral Researcher, and Allison Christians, H. Heward Stikeman Chair in Tax Law, both of McGill University in Montreal, Canada. For additional inquiries please contact May Hen.
