波士顿大学法学院澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究生税务项目介绍系列讲座

该系列将带来领先的税法专业人士到学校与学生和澳门威尼斯人注册网站探讨当前的税务问题。 

波士顿大学法学院’s 毕业生税务计划 (GTP) is curating a new lecture series focusing on current issues in taxation.

由GTP Sara Marshall和访问助理教授Natasha Varyani主任组织，该系列讲座将税法领域的领先从业者和校友带到了BU法律，就国际税法，州和地方税法，豁免组织，遗产规划和金融产品等主题发表讲话。

“With these topics, we’re trying to be thoughtful about getting a broad range so we can capture a large variety of interests both of students and practitioners,” says Varyani. “The goal is to have leaders in their field and draw in people from practice to help the students gain substantive knowledge.”

Varyani最近就自己的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究做了一个讲座，作为该系列的一部分，她的学术澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究主要集中在多司法管辖区实体的税收，以及税收制度如何随着技术和商业的变化而演变。 她在大型国内和跨国律师事务所和会计师事务所执业近十年，并以该身份代表大型和复杂的纳税人。

她希望这一系列对波士顿各地的专业人士开放的课程，能让学生和从业者有机会扩大他们对当代税法问题的知识和理解。

“Because these are hot areas of practice, we hope that by giving [the students] a background in exactly how these rules are being used and the new ways in which the law is developing, they’ll have a skillset or knowledge base that is marketable and will help them find a great job when they graduate,” says Varyani.

马歇尔认为，该系列将为顶级从业者提供机会，体验波士顿大学法学院著名的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究生税务计划所提供的服务。

“It helps with our exposure to the market place,” says Marshall. “It maintains the program as one of the top-recognized tax programs in the country, and provides a central place for the top practitioners in the area to come and teach. By bringing other people in, they can see what we are up to.”

虽然这个系列将给学生们一个机会听取他们所在领域的领导者的意见，但瓦里亚尼也希望这个系列能够帮助那些仍在决定自己想要专攻哪个领域的学生。

“My hope is that students attend these lectures, and if there’s something that speaks to them then they might find an area of tax law that they really want to specialize in,” she says. “It will help them make connections with what they’re learning in the program and apply it in their career and hopefully build their network of other professionals in the field.”

Varyani于10月20日开始了这个系列讲座，演讲内容是围绕多州税收契约的诉讼以及它们如何影响大型企业纳税人。 This semester, Ameek Ponda (LLM’96) will discuss the 385 Regulations, the US Treasury Department’s proposed regulations to prevent multinational corporations from engaging in corporate inversion and profit-stripping. Ken Monteiro (CAS’84, LAW’87), general counsel to the Ford Foundation, will give a lecture in January titled “Private Foundations: Avoiding Pitfalls of an Election Cycle.”

“I’m so personally excited about it,” says Varyani. “There is a lot of potential in this series. I think we’ll have a great first year and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.”
