Tax in ASEAN and China: Regional challenges and integration

This one day conference brings together leading scholars from Australia and the region with an interest in taxation in China and the ASEAN region. It will generate critical insights into regional tax integration and the role that the Countries in the region play in this process. The challenges inherent in applying tax concepts developed outside the region to the dynamic economies therein will also be reviewed. Finally, this conference seeks to establish a research network between regional and Australian scholars. It will be a first step in developing a critical mass of tax expertise and research on tax in China and ASEAN.
