Another Check of the Temperature of Tax Teaching in the UK

Abstract

In this article, the authors seek to assess the state of tax teaching in UK universities—to “check its temperature”. Survey data and publicly available information is compiled and analysed across three streams: where tax is taught, the impact of accreditation on business schools and how tax is taught. The authors use this analysis to make a series of proposals in the hope that this could remedy some of the ailments currently suffered by UK higher education law and business school tax teaching.
