Coming Up

The University of North Carolina is organizing its twenty-eighth annual tax symposium, designed to bring together leading tax scholars from economics, accounting, finance, law, political science, and related fields. The symposium will be held in Chapel Hill, beginning Friday morning, and ending at noon on Saturday, March 14th & 15th, 2025, and will be sponsored by the UNC Tax Center.  The goal is to bring together scholars from different areas who share a common interest in current tax research. Due to high demand and limited seating capacity, attendance is by invitation. Previous conferences have been very successful, and we anticipate the same this year.

  • PAPER DETAILS: Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group's discussion. We welcome research involving a wide variety of taxes, including taxes not based on income.

  • PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:  Please submit an electronic PDF version of the paper no later than December 15th 2024 to: taxsymposium@kenan-flagler.unc.edu

Past

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was the most significant overhaul of the U.S. tax code in a generation. It cut business and individual income taxes and reformed the international tax system, spurring the U.S. economy and boosting the country’s competitiveness on the world stage. The problem: many provisions are set to expire at the end of 2025.
