Taxing top incomes: design issues & challenges beyond the politics
Every two years, IFS holds a residential conference, aiming to facilitate high-level knowledge exchange between practitioners, policymakers and academics on key areas of policy and practice. 2023’s conference, sponsored by CIOT and supported by Tax Journal, will look at the taxation of top incomes – broadly the top 1%, from those earning £130,000 a year to those making millions. The aim is to look beyond the political debate over how much to tax high incomes overall, and ask what challenges the current system faces and how it could made more rational and effective.
The conference theme and many of the topics covered draw heavily on work undertaken as part of the IFS Deaton Review of Inequalities, funded by The Nuffield Foundation.
