Key Staff 2022

SKILLS AND EXPERTISE OF KEY STAFF MEMBERS

A team of experts from Iran and European Union member countries collaborate to implement this module. The major of team members are Law and Economics and they approach to the subject matter from different and Complementary perspectives. Thus, they are well equipped to cover legal, economic and administrative aspects of PIT in the EU.

This year the event is organized in two weeks. The official language of the first week is Persian and the skills and expertise of the team members are introduced here. The second week's program will be delivered in English with a special focus on European Union. This year's teme members are as follows:

He also contributed in translation of a book entitled “tax policy and tax reform in Latin America”.

He has been involved in two recent major tax reforms in Iran when he was in charge of assessment of proposed bills, once as a member of Iran’s Parliament Research Center and the other time, as a secretary of the Cabinet’s economic commission. And very recently, he won a fund to do a research and to draft a bill to reform Iran’s personal income tax system. In this research he and his team (who some of them are collaborating in this Module) studied the structure of Personal Income Tax in the country members of European Union to shed light on this new reform.
