Following the achievements for tax certainty in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), the Tax Foundation, UNC Tax Center, and MIT Sloan School of Management are hosting a joint conference to discuss the value of one of the Tax Foundation’s principles for sound tax policy: stability.
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. 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 2025 to: [email protected]
We will select papers by February 1st 2026
The seminar exposes students of all backgrounds to current tax research and is designed for students from doctoral programs without a Ph.D. tax seminar.
On Thursday, April 10th, the Tax Foundation, University of North Carolina Tax Center, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management are hosting a joint conference to discuss New Directions in Tax Policy: Budgetary and Other Challenges of an Increasingly Complex Tax Code. This timely conference will provide members of Congress, the business community, and the American public with timely information regarding the challenges that Congress creates for itself when proposing policies with uncertain economic and budgetary impacts. With current debt and deficit levels, Congress should avoid policies that risk major costs. Recent history has shown that lawmakers have leaned into expensive policies, including major expansions of the child tax credit and renewable energy credits, without fully understanding long-run impacts. Additionally, lawmakers have implemented new business taxes, such as the corporate alternative minimum tax, that involve complex interactions between accounting and tax rules, introducing new challenges and uncertainties both for taxpayers and budget scorekeepers.
The University of North Carolina's 28th Annual Tax Symposium will take place on March 14 & 15, 2025. It is designed to bring together leading tax scholars from economics, accounting, finance, law, political science, and related fields. The 28th Annual UNC Tax Symposium is sponsored by KPMG, the James C. and Ethel M. Crone Fund in Tax Excellence, and Cambridge Business Publishers. 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.
This event is invitation only. The seminar exposes students of all backgrounds to current tax research and is designed for students from doctoral programs without a Ph.D. tax seminar. Students learn the fundamentals of tax research, and some might wind up adding tax to their set of research interests.
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.
This event is invitation only. The 27th Annual UNC Tax Symposium will be held at the Rizzo Center in Chapel Hill on Friday, April 12th and Saturday morning, April 13th.
This event is invitation only. The seminar exposes students of all backgrounds to current tax research and is designed for students from doctoral programs without a Ph.D. tax seminar.
