HE Tax Forum
The HE Tax forum, which is coordinated by HEFCE, was formed in 2007 and involves representatives from BUFDG, HMRC, UniversitiesUK and DIUS. Meetings are held three times yearly and meeting minutes can be found in the Info-Bank. Also available is a list of risks identified by HMRC relating to HEIs - if you have any comments or observations, please post them to the Tax Discussion Board. If you are developing a Tax Risk strategy for your institution, go to the Info-Bank to see what is there already.

The BUFDG Taxation Group holds a conference in Loughborough University in June every year. The 2010 Tax Conference is being held on June 8th-9th. Further information and booking are available on the Events page. Presentations from previous tax conferences can be downloaded from the Info-Bank.
