Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation

Description

The Centre for Business Taxation (CBT) is an independent research centre based in the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford. Its objective is to promote effective business taxation policies. The CBT collaborates closely with other university departments, such as the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Law, and the Blavatnik School of Government. It conducts and publishes research on the impact of taxes on businesses.

The CBT is led by a Director, supported by an Assistant Director, and programme directors who are professors from Oxford, Warwick, and Munich. The research team comprises experts in academic research and tax policy, with backgrounds in economics and law. The Director and the Steering Committee determine the CBT's research program based on academic merit and policy relevance.

Established in 2005, the CBT initially received significant funding from a diverse group of donors, including members of the Hundred Group. Some of these companies, along with others, continue to support the CBT.
