PAPER DOWNLOAD

The workshop's main theme is explained in the CALL FOR PAPERS.  We would also welcome papers that enhance sociopolitical understandings of tax avoidance and its consequences.

The workshop is to be held at the Colchester campus of  the University of  Essex, set in over 200 acres of beautiful parkland. The campus consists of a  series of modern, interlinked buildings grouped around open courtyards and pedestrian squares. Colchester is a historic town and Britain's oldest continuously inhabited town. It is at the heart of the Constable country. Why not stay longer and enjoy the historical sites, fine shops, restaurants, countryside, parks, scenic drives, miniature railway, zoo and other amenities. Further information about sites and places is available from Colchester Tourism website.
