ETPF Public Conference 2014, in partnership with the Institute for Fiscal Studies
International Taxation: Base Erosion, Profit Shifting and Distortions to Real Activity
28 April 2014
After three successful conferences in Brussels, the 9th annual conference of the European Tax Policy Forum (ETPF), returned to
London and was co-hosted by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
This conference presented the initial results of four research projects commissioned by ETPF. They include two analyses of how taxes
affect business behaviour: the impact of the UK switch to the territorial system in 2009 on domestic and outbound investment, and the
impact of thin cap and transfer pricing rules on investment. A third paper investigates the revenue cost of profit shifting by multinational
companies, and the final paper examines the broader economic benefits of attracting inward investment by multinational companies.

Michael Devereux, Centre for Business Taxation, University of Oxford and ETPF
Katharina Finke, ZEW, Mannheim
David Gauke MP, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury
Fergus Harradence, HM Treasury
