Universities are constantly innovating, changing, and developing new ideas and business streams, many of which will have tax implications and require consideration of tax issues in order to make the new ideas work from a financial perspective.
A quick glance over Twitter reveals that over 30 universities have pledged a greater commitment to their local communities through Civic University Agreements (@UPP_Foundation), and my old alma mater, Lancaster, (@LancasterUni) is shortly opening its first EU campus in Leipzig, Germany.
What's your university up to? And how can you help to ensure that its plans to help the community, to expand abroad, to introduce new ways of delivering education, to work more closely with industry etc. etc. don't get derailed by tax issues? How do you in the Tax/Finance department find out what your university is planning to do BEFORE it does it? If you have any ideas on successful ways to do this, please do share them on this discussion board post…
