PhD Grants

The CIOT offers limited PhD grants in certain circumstances where the research in question contributes to our charitable objective:

“to advance public education in and promote the study of the administration and practice of taxation and the principles of economic and political science in relation to taxation.”

There are two application closing dates each year: 1 April and 1 November. All submissions will be treated in confidence.

Grants will not be given to students until they have completed their first year.  

Students must be undertaking either full-time or part-time research towards a PhD in taxation at a UK university although students who are registered for an M.Phil. and who intend to upgrade to a PhD before submission may apply.  

This grant must not be used to meet college fees and please note that no living expenses will be approved for payment as part of any grant request.  

Preference will be given to those students who intend to remain in the UK to pursue an academic career.
