100 Years of Tax Law in Canada
The year 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Canada鈥檚 federal income tax. In commemoration of this milestone, the Stikeman Chair in Tax Law is organizing a half-day symposium in conjunction with the Spiegel Sohmer Colloquium.
The goal of the event is to explore the evolution of tax law and policy in Canada over the past century. Kicking off with a keynote by Kim Brooks,聽experts will then confer on some of the key themes of tax law and policy development in Canada in two roundtable discussions and a retrospective. The event will conclude with a cocktail reception to celebrate 100 years of federal income tax in Canada.
