Project Overview:

As a replacement for the International Tax Week field trip the IDTE was an attempt to bring the same insights and activities of a field trip to a virtual context. The event involved the participation of 5 universities.

The event involved guest lecturers from academia and industry introducing key concepts as required to allow students to progress. The case study was focused on transfer pricing and the complexities or recognising the value of intangibles in the context of the videogame industry.

Students completed a number of tasks in mixed university groups to be able to address needs arising during the event. This included providing accurate calculations, reference to legislation and guidance as well as considering wider sustainability and CSR issues.
