Professor Fiscal Economics & Tax Accounting

Introduction:

The focus of the Fiscal Economics master's program lies in the study of tax law from both a business economics and macroeconomic perspective. It encompasses all conceivable aspects of taxation and the associated economic effects and developments. For example, what role do taxes play in the strategic choices of individuals and businesses, such as the location of international corporations (Unilever, Starbucks, etc.)? Or: Can the difference in tax burden between employees and self-employed individuals distort labor market relations? Or: What are the implications of covering fiscal risks in business processes and what are the economic consequences for enterprises? Or: What causes differences in laws and regulations that result in additional administrative burdens?

For this chair, the intersections, and differences between tax law for businesses and financial reporting law form the core of the research domain. Two main areas can be identified. The first core area for this chair encompasses income and corporate taxation for businesses. What are the economic effects of both taxes on the business community? The second core area of this chair is 'tax accounting'. This field focuses on the differences between tax and commercial financial reporting and determining the tax position in financial statements. When discussing the fiscal concept of annual profit, attention is also paid to differences between tax valuation and valuation in commercial financial statements. Knowledge of this is relevant due to factors such as the connection between tax returns and commercial financial statements and the analysis of economic consequences of tax choices made by businesses. Tax accounting thus lies at the intersection of two fields: financial reporting law and taxation.

Both core areas are closely related to adjacent fields taught within the Fiscal Economics master's program: Fiscal Economic Policy, Corporate Structures and Transfer Pricing, and (Fiscal) Business Strategy.

‘Fiscal Economics & Tax Accounting’ is one of the areas of expertise in the (pre)master's program in Fiscal Economics. Additionally, tax accounting is also relevant for the fields of Accountancy and Controlling. Furthermore, the education of this chair focuses on Nyenrode's Executive Education.

Nyenrode Business University recognizes the importance of research in this field. The research results should lead to (international) publications and be continually integrated into education. The university sees itself playing a prominent role in the public debate in this regard.

The role of the tax professional is highlighted in the educational program: playing a guiding role in teams concerning the tax interests of businesses. Naturally, in-depth attention is paid to ethical and social aspects that may influence and complicate the situation (the LES values).
