CTL Workshop: Capital Gains Matters

Speaker: Prof. Dr Wolfgang Schoen, Director Max Planck Institute Munich for Intellectual Property Law, Business law and Tax Law. Capital Gains Matters. Wolfgang Schoen will talk about German (and European) CGT problems. Wolfgang Schoen gave us a memorable day in our second series of workshops when he talked about Accounting Standards. It seemed to me that we should spend a day thinking about CGT Issues and I know that WS will provide us with the perfect intellectual setting to do so. He wrote an article in [2005] BTR 620-627 but the German tax system does not stand still and major changes are due in 2009 including capital gains charge on shares and other securities major with-holding taxes for dividend interest and capital gains.

The Tax Law workshop series is run in partnership between the University of Cambridge Centre for Tax Law and Queens' College, and generously sponsored by HMRC and CIOT. The workshops attract a range of delegates, from postgraduate students and academics, to practitioners and those from business and government.
