This conference offers an important opportunity to consider historical and contemporary perspectives on the question of where responsibility for corporate taxation and tax ‘avoidance’ lies – with multinational enterprise (MNE), individual states, supranational organisations or some combination of all of these. Apart from international efforts (League of Nations, OECD) to address the issue, little is known about how politicians and business leaders over the long-term have dealt with the international coordination of corporate taxation as tax strategies and tax management has evolved.
The event has been organised by Jan-Otmar Hesse (University of Bayreuth), Ben Wubs (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Neil Forbes (Coventry University) and supported by The Volkswagen Foundation under the Grant Programme ‘Challenges for Europe’.
