UNC 29th Annual Tax Symposium

The University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School is organizing its twenty-nineth 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 Thursday morning, April 9th and ending at noon on Friday, April 10th, and will be hosted 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.


We greatly appreciate the generous support from KPMG.
