Tax Law, Tax Administration and Medical Practice 1780-1920: Pilot Project. (360G-Wellcome-089621_Z_09_Z)

£23,702

This pilot project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a major examination of the relationship between tax law and medical practice and the effects of tax on the professionalisation of medicine and the provision of healthcare in the nineteenth century. It seeks to confirm that tax issues were a consideration for medical practitioners and institutions by examining archival materials in tax law and medical practice and revealing that their nature, scope and quality are such as to support a majo r investigation. The records of the central revenue boards and the tax tribunals reveal state practices and tensions in relation to medical practitioners and the tax behaviour of medical practitioners. The proceedings of the professional medical bodies and the medical press reveal the contemporary importance, if any, of tax issues to the medical profession and individual practitioners. The key goals of the pilot are: o to confirm that tax issues were a consideration for medical practitioners and institutions; o to demonstrate the feasibility of the principal project by explicitly identifying tax engagement in the medical archives and of medical engagement in the tax law archives; o to permit an application to the Trust for support for the principal project.
