Maastricht Centre for Taxation
The Maastricht Centre for Taxation (MCT) is an educational and research centre dedicated to international and European taxation as well as Dutch tax law with its European and international dimensions, combining research expertise in tax law, (tax) accounting and public finance. The centre strives to provide excellent tax education to national and international groups of students, combined with a research focus on international and European taxation. Our staff consists of members with different backgrounds in order to ensure diversity in both tax-related research and education. Until 2025, the School of Business and Economics offered educational programmes in Fiscal Economics, which were also integrated at the MCT.
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 programme “Dynamics between legal orders”. MCT has two research lines: 1. Taxation of cross-border employment, and pensions and 2. Cross-border business and tax competition.
MCT’s research mainly takes place
in the following streams:
2. Institutions
3. Markets
4. Mobility

“My research is about value-added taxation. That is a rapidly growing discipline and there is still a great deal to do.”
Raymond Luja
“Taxes are a trending topic nowadays, in particular if we google for big businesses and them (not) paying their ‘fair share’.”
