The Lights of Lyon shine again!

We are glad to announce that the Universities of Lyon (Jean Moulin), Ferrara and Osnabrück will converge in Lyon on March 15 and 16 to celebrate together a seminar on Inheritance taxation.

Arguably the most hatred for of tax in the Old continent, inheritance tax is in many respect considered a full fledged wealth tax and effective equalizer. Long forgotten by the mainstream literature, which concentrated the attention on income and consumption as appropriate taxable bases , inheritance is gettin now traction as to reinstate fairness and equality in the several economic system.

Is it so ? Does taxing inheritance rise issues of double taxation ? are there EU law constraints to be taken into account?

Join us on this occasion, but as permission to the covenor before: Professor Georges Cavalier, to whom we are grateful for the hospitality and the scientific inception of the event.
