Doctoral students researching on indirect taxation are invited to apply to the 9th PhD seminar on VAT and other Indirect Taxes, which will be held at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on 24 June 2023.
Background
Despite its policy significance, research in indirect taxes, in particular on VAT/ GST, is still somewhat underdeveloped. The aim of the EANOVAT PhD Seminar Series on Indirect Tax is therefore to foster research in VAT/GST and other indirect taxes, and to create an arena for doctoral researchers in indirect taxes to meet each other, and exchange experiences with both their peers and senior academics working in this area, within an informal atmosphere. Our main focus is upon doctoral researchers at European Law Schools with a research project in VAT. However, we are open to participants from other regions of the world or whose research investigates indirect taxes other than VAT (e.g. excises or customs duties). This initiative is organized by seven scholars specializing in indirect tax research, and it has been designed as an annually recurring event. The first edition was held in April 2013 at Lund University (Sweden). It was followed by several seminars, for example, at Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), at Durham University (UK), at Münster University (Germany), at Lund University, and at University of Leeds. Feedback and comments at those events were extremely positive, and we are therefore happy to announce the 9th edition of this initiative.
