Tax History Conference XIII

The Tax History Conference XIII is a biennial event organized by the Centre for Tax Law (CTL) at the University of Cambridge. Scheduled for Monday, 6 July, and Tuesday, 7 July 2026, the conference will be held at Darwin College, Cambridge. This gathering aims to foster scholarly discussions on the historical aspects of tax law, bringing together historians, legal scholars, accountants, and tax professionals.

The conference does not adhere to a specific academic theme; however, all proposals should focus on tax law from a historical perspective. This open approach encourages a diverse range of topics and methodologies, enriching the discourse on the evolution and impact of tax legislation over time.

Attendees can anticipate engaging presentations and discussions, with opportunities for networking among peers in the field. While the CTL strives to keep the registration fee minimal, participants are responsible for arranging their own overnight accommodations. Options include staying in student rooms within various Cambridge Colleges, offering a convenient and affordable lodging solution.

The conference is particularly suited for academics, researchers, and practitioners with an interest in the historical dimensions of tax law. It provides a unique platform to share research findings, gain insights from leading experts, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on tax history.
