Prof Dr Mr Raymond Luja (R.H.C.)

Research profile

Professor Luja’s research focuses in particular on the impact of international and European State aid rules on tax law and tax policy. An important part of his research concerns the regulation of tax subsidies, including harmful tax competition and its significance for sustainable development.


His research connects European and international State aid law with current issues in taxation and public policy. In doing so, he examines the legal and policy boundaries within which governments can use tax measures, as well as their effects on competitive conditions.


Professor Luja has, among other roles, served as General Rapporteur for the congress of the International Federation of European Law (FIDE), where he addressed the theme “Taxation, State Aid and Distortion of Competition.”


More recent research also focuses on the technical relationship between tax concepts such as income and wealth and their implications for social benefits.
