Tax Harmonisation Versus Tax Competition: Which Promotes Prosperity?

Tax Harmonisation Versus Tax Competition: Which Promotes Prosperity? was the first event held by the Taxpayers Alliance. The event was a joint venture with the Institute of Economic Affairs held on the 3-February-2004. The seminar was entitled Tax Harmonisation Versus Tax Competition: Which Promotes Prosperity?.

Daniel J Mitchell of the Heritage Foundation was the guest speaker at the event and its purpose was for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to meet with low-tax jurisdictions in London to discuss so-called 'harmful tax competition' during 3rd-5th February. The Institute of Economic Affairs held the seminar in conjunction with the TaxPayers Alliance and Mitchell was selected to 'lead a discussion investigating whether tax harmonization or tax competition contributes more to economic growth'. In addition to reviewing OECD initiatives, the discussion was designed to 'examine various EU tax harmonization measures'.
