This work contains the full text of the papers given at the first Tax Law History Conference in Cambridge in September 2002 and organised by the Cambridge Law Facultys Centre for Tax Law. The papers ranged widely from the time of King John to the 20th century,from Tudor Englands Statute of Wills to the American taxes on slaves, from Hong Kong, Australia and Israel. The sources ranged from the Public Record office to the bowels of Somerset House. The topics ranged from the tax base through tax administration to tax policy making as well as providing detailed accounts of the UKs remittance basis of taxation and the Excess Profits Duty of the First World War. All students of tax law and tax history will want to read these papers by an international team of leading scholars in tax law and history.
They [the sixteen papers] are all, in their quite different ways, a good read, and they all provoke a desire to know more...John Tiley, and Louise Tee, to whom this volume is dedicated, are to be congratulated on organising the Conference on whose proceedings it is based, and it is to be hoped, and expected, that many more will follow. Roger Kerridge Journal of Legal History Vol. 26, Issue 3; Dec. 05; pg 375-377 This book is an interesting addition to the tax debate. It provides some remarkable insights into the historical antecedents of the tax system under which we labour today... Emer Hunt The Irish Jurist, Vol XL 2005 These studies in history of tax laws and policies, their design and development, structure and administration, intended and unintended effects, not only enlightens and informs, sometimes even entertains, but also provides a comparative resource for recurrent issues.
