University of Edinburgh webinar on Public Services and Options for Local Taxes
2023-01-31 12:45 - 14:00 | online
Taxation and Social Policy: Local Taxation
Public services organised and run by many Local Authorities have been significantly affected for over a decade by the cuts in the Central Government Grant they receive. This has led to an increase in the role of local taxation and raises questions about what options there are for new local taxes or reforming existing local taxes in ways which are fair and effective in revenue-raising.
The Taxation and Social Policy Group are organising a webinar on
Public Services and Options for Local Taxes
Tuesday January 31st 2023 – 12.45 – 2pm
Michael Orton, Warwick University, will speak about current local taxes, including variation around the UK, and will give an overview of some of the options for reform.
Emma Congreve, Deputy Director at the Fraser of Allander Institute, will focus on contemporary debates in Scotland, including the possible introduction of a land value tax.
Booking details for the event will be made available soon. If you have any queries, do contact Sally at sruane@dmu.ac.uk .
Best wishes,
Adrian Sinfield, Micheal Collins and Sally Ruane

TRN Clinical Tax Education Workshop
2020-07-03 | Lancaster University, Lancaster, United Kingdom
In January 2020, the North West Tax Clinic opened its doors for the North West community as a pilot project. The project is a collaboration between Lancaster University, University of Central Lancashire and national charity, TaxAid. The model for the clinic draws on student volunteers, tax practitioners and TaxAid to provide low-income individuals with accurate, professional tax advice. The clinic provides a platform for student experiential learning and the students undertake training to become TaxAid volunteers. They are the first line of support for the Clinic and answer the helpline, hold appointments with clients, identify their tax issues, and research and draft tax advice.
Following the pilot, this workshop, supported by the TRN, will aim to share some initial learning on the challenges and benefits to introducing a clinical tax education element to Law, Finance, or Accounting students. During the workshop, we will aim to:

Provide an insight into student experience by drawing on student survey data and the student volunteers;
Provide an insight into the supervisor experience and walk delegates through the challenges faced when setting up the North West Tax Clinic. For instance, marketing and infrastructure;
Give a tour of the North West Tax Clinic and answer delegate questions relating to setting up a Tax Clinic in their institution.

The workshop is intended to be a friendly environment to ask questions about Tax Clinics, as well as to share ideas on clinic models moving forwards.
