The Research Panel for Tax Law and its Friends at the Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law

Abstract

Shortly after its inception, the Stockholm Centre for Commercial Law (the “SCCL” or the “Centre”) was organised into research panels for different areas of commercial law. The Research Panel for Tax Law, which was established in 2004, is one of the oldest panels at the SCCL. The Panel was initially headed by Professor Roger Persson Österman, 2004–2008, followed by Professor Teresa Simon-Almendal, 2008–2021, and from 2021 by Senior Lecturer Caroline Nordklint.
Section 2 below contains a detailed description of how the tax law research support was initiated and developed at the SCCL, while Section 3 describes the Tax Friends and their importance for the SCCL and the tax law research at the Centre. Section 4 continues the presentation with a more detailed account of the activities conducted within the research panel, while Section 5 describes the various forms of co-operation within the research panel. Section 6 looks ahead and concludes the article.
