The proceedings gather together the views of academics, national policy-makers and international institutions on two topical issues of great policy-relevance at the current juncture, i.e. housing taxation and tax governance. The part on housing taxation touches upon different aspects of housing taxation and their characteristics with respect to economic efficiency/distortions, macroeconomic (de-)stabilisation and equity/distributional considerations. The part on tax governance discusses the main avenues in fostering voluntary tax compliance, improving tax administration efficiency, reducing compliance costs and complexity and safeguarding effective tax auditing and enforcement.
