Topic: International Tax Reform: Recent Developments In Canada And The United Kingdom
Both Canada and the United Kingdom have been engaged in reforming the international aspects of the their tax systems over the past two years. After a consultative process, the United Kingdom has introduced proposals for an exemption for dividends coupled with restrictions on interest deductibility. In Canada, an advisory panel to the Minster of Finance released a report in late 2008 making recommendations for reform; the Minister has already acted on one aspect of the report by repealing anti-double-dip rules. The seminar will examine the tax policy aspects of international tax reform in Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as other countries.

This Workshop will take place at Queens' College Cambridge and will run from 10.10am (Participants will need to register beforehand) until 3.45pm
