Agenda
Conference ‘The Netherlands a Tax Paradise? Complexities of Corporate Tax Avoidance’ (Rotterdam, 29 Nov. 2024) – register before 1 Nov. 2024
The local organising committee invites you to the international conference on corporate taxation and its avoidance at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam on 29 November 2024: ‘The Netherlands a Tax Paradise? Complexities of Corporate Tax Avoidance’. This conference is part of a larger international historical project financed by the German Volkswagen Foundation.
The conference addresses the historical interplay of growing capital mobility, an expanding fiscal state and tax competition and it asks what lessons this may hold for policy. It does so by focusing on the Netherlands as an important host and home country for transnational companies funneling international capital flows since the 1920s. It addresses the questions of when, how and why the Netherlands emerged as a Tax Haven, how it evolved and what its current status is. It focuses on the interaction and tensions between Dutch tax authorities on the one hand and financial institutions, entrepreneurs and MNEs on the other. The conference aims to bring together a wide range of scholars (legal, economic, historical), professionals, business leaders and policy makers to discuss the past, present and future of Dutch corporate tax strategies and other national tax regimes within a larger international context. Further background details on the project and the conference can be found in the pdf, downloadable via the button below.
If you would like to join the conference and participate in the debates, please register before 1 November 2024 via the dedicated form, see button below. After registration you will receive the program. The conference is free of charge and a lunch is included but you will have to make your own travelling and hotel arrangements if travelling from abroad.
