Global Tax Governance Workshop, 18-19 October 2023
The Tax Research Group and the Centre for Business Taxation recently hosted an interdisciplinary workshop on Global Tax Governance. Over two days, at Harris Manchester College and the Saïd Business School, international tax experts were joined by experts from public international law, politics and international relations to discuss governance issues stemming from recent multilateral efforts on international taxation. The second day provided insights from other areas of international cooperation (including banking, trade, environment, and health) that informed a broad-ranging discussion on what international tax governance could and should look like in an increasingly globalised world. Among the issues discussed were questions of fairness and legitimacy, the operation of international institutions and politics, and the viewpoint from countries in the global south.
