Description
The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) offers limited PhD grants to support research that advances public education and promotes the study of taxation administration, practice, and related economic and political science principles. These grants are intended for students whose research directly contributes to CIOT’s charitable objectives and fosters greater understanding in the field of taxation. Funding is competitive and designed to cover specific research expenses rather than general living or tuition costs.
