Thanks for the input, we’ll take this into account. We do provide tax advice for the US and UK, but we’ve also looked into expanding this. Edit: If you don’t mind, could you let me know which jurisdiction was relevant to you at the time?
I received my LTF grant while living in Brazil (I forwarded the details of the Brazilian tax lawyer I consulted to CEA staff). However, I built up my grantee expectations while doing research in Australia and Sweden, and was happy they were also valid in Brazil. My intuition is that most countries that allow either PhD students or postdocs to receive tax-free income for doing research at universities will probably also allow CEA grants to individuals to be declared in a tax-free manner, at least if the grant is for a research project.
Is that tax advice published anywhere? I’d assumed any grants I received in the UK would be treated as regular income, and if that’s not the case it’s a pleasant surprise!

Makes sense, thanks!

It’s not public. If you like, you can PM me your email address and I can try asking someone to get in touch with you.
