Lund's tax academy is the group of the tax law researchers who work within the joint research and teaching environment in tax law, that is shared between the Faculty of Law and the Department of Business Law, School of Economics, at Lund University. The aim is to build and maintain strong research environments in the area of tax law within Lund university, and make them competitive nationally and internationally. One step in this, and at the same time involving the surrounding society, is to initiate discussions about important tax law issues. The seminars, which are held on two or three occasions each semester, begin with lectures and comments, and are followed by socializing. Interested students are invited to participate. The Tax Academy's seminars are thus an important and appreciated fora, where private and public actors in tax law meet with academics and students specializing in tax law and public finance.
