11TH GREIT ANNUAL CONFERENCE

8-10 September 2016
Isle of Ischia – Italy

The Group for Research on European and International Taxation (GREIT) hosts annual events in the form of conferences and summer schools.

The GREIT 11th is the latest annual Conference of this unique think-tank, which has distinguished itself during the past 10 years for anticipating the trends of European international tax law.

This year the focus was on European tax integration: law, policy and politics. We intended to explore the potential dynamics of integration in connection with the new context of global tax coordination. A nice combination of theory and practice with top academics, officials and practitioners will allow participants to have a deeper insight on how European international tax law may develop in the next few years.

Day one focused on trends and facts on European integration, role of expert groups, enhancing the legitimacy and filling the democratic gap and tax between law and policy in the EU and in relations with third countries.

Day two looked at frictions between the effective primacy of supranational law and national tax sovereignty, EU Anti-BEPS package and its implications and a possible roadmap for European tax integration in the era of global supranational tax law.
