CIOT party conferences debates

The economy is struggling with sluggish growth, high debt and rising taxes. What are the challenges of and choices for reforming taxes in a way that is pro-growth and fair? What should the government’s – or the next government’s – priorities be?

CIOT is once again holding debates at the two main political party conferences this year, joining with the Institute for Fiscal Studies and party representatives to debate the tax and public finance challenges facing Britain.

If you will be attending either of the conferences, or are in the Manchester area, why not join us? Alternatively, we will be recording the events and making them available to view on CIOT’s YouTube channel shortly afterwards, hopefully within a couple of hours of them taking place.
