On 29-30 April 2024 the African Tax Institte (ATI), the University of Pretoria and the tax community held a two-day symposium in honour of Professor Riël Franzsen upon his retirement from the ATI. The symposium was arranged as a hybrid session, combining in-person and on-line presentations of papers that will culminate in a liber amicorum (book of friends).

Currently, Professor Franzsen occupies the South African Research Chair in Tax Policy and Governance. He has served as a policy advisor for various international entities (including the IMF and World Bank) in more than 30 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East. He specialises in land and property taxation. He has authored and co-authored many peer-reviewed papers and book chapters.

ATI-WU 2024 Summer School

On 2-3 May 2024 the African Tax Institute (ATI) in collaboration with Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) and Tax Justice Network held the 2024 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) Summer School. The theme of the 2024 CSOs Summer School was Emerging Issues on The International Tax Agenda: The Changing Environment Within Which Tax Justice Is Operating. Several delegates from African countries' tax administration authorities and non-profit organisations (NGOs) as well as academic staff attended the 2024 Summer School.

The Summer School covered several topics, including:

  • International Tax Reform — the changing environment within which tax justice is operating
  • Trade-related illicit financial flows: minimising the risks and maximising benefits of the AfCFTA
  • Rethinking taxation of high net-worth individuals
  • The opportunities and risks of new technology in the tax area
