The objectives or LRC's research in corporate taxation includes designing-out tax avoidance from corporate tax laws, enhancing international co-operation on corporate taxation through bi-lateral and multi-lateral tax treaties, and designing improved and consistent methods of enforcing tax laws through administrative, civil, and criminal legal processes., LRC leads a number of funded research projects on the criminal aspects of taxation, including the PROTAX and VIRTEU projects.
