Research

The Maastricht Centre for Taxation consists of members of the Department of Tax Law, the Department of Accounting and Information Management and the Department of Economics. MCT has two main themes of research: ‘Cross-border taxation of individuals’ and ‘International and European business taxation & accounting’.

As both of our research lines focus on taxation in an international setting, and hence both confliction national tax systems and the need for international coordination, the research fits well within our Faculty’s research theme “Integration and interaction between legal orders”. MCT has two research lines: 1. Taxation of cross-border employment, and pensions and 2. Cross-border business and tax competition.
