School of Public Finance and Taxation

Our school was founded in July 1986, and its original name is Department of Public Finance and Taxation. In 1987, its name changed to Department of Taxation because of the joint contribution from Guangdong Administration of Taxation at that time. In 2002 and 2008, our school has changed its name again and in the April of 2013, it was finally called the School of Public Finance and Taxation.
