The Tax Challenge is an annual, nationwide college and university competition designed to stimulate student interest in the field of taxation. There are two levels of competition - regional and national. In the Tax Challenge Regional competition, undergraduate and graduate teams work through a complex hypothetical case study.
Students then formulate conclusions.
An Arthur Andersen panel of judges evaluates each team's solution. The top ten teams in each division advance to the National competition held at our Center for Professional Education in St. Charles, Illinois. Tax Challenge provides an opportunity for students to take part in a unique interscholastic competition. The nation's top accounting and tax programs can enter one graduate and one undergraduate team consisting of four full-time students. Participants, finalists and winners earn prestige for competing to be the best among peers.
