Tax theory is relatively straightforward: The challenge is to adapt basic principles to the complex and ever-changing variety of domestic and international economic, political, social, and historical constraints. Oftentimes, that's easier said than done.
Our executive program, Comparative Tax Policy and Administration, can provide you with insights and tools to deal with this challenging dynamic.
Designed for Tax Policy Professionals
The upcoming online session will bring together high-level practitioners from government, academia, and the private sector to explore which elements of taxation work best in addressing particular kinds of challenges. This contrasts with the alternative approach, promoting a unitary “best practice” model of taxation, because there is not a single blueprint for success that is appropriate for all countries at all times. Instead, we stress the importance of context and capacity in tax policy and administration.
