Alex Cobham ■ Event: The Brexit tax haven threat, assessed
As part of a series of seminars looking at the future of public services, the 
Public Services International Research Unit (PSIRU) and Tax Justice Network are organising a seminar entitled ‘The Brexit tax haven threat assessed’ to be held on Tuesday 14 March 2017, 2pm to 5 pm, HH103, University of Greenwich, SE10 9LS.
The aim of this seminar is to discuss different stakeholders’ views on what UK tax policy will look like or should look like post-Brexit. How can parliamentarians ensure that a tax haven strategy isn’t adopted? Will the UK seek to use tax strategy as a form of industrial policy and, if so, how will the EU react? How can we avoid a race to the bottom that would spell the end of the British social model as we know it? The seminar is aimed at anyone interested in the future of progressive taxation in the UK. Trade unions, tax justice campaigners, students, NGOs and civil society organisations will be especially welcome.
