Submissions

Submission of original contributions on any topic of tax interest is welcomed, and should be sent as an email attachment to the Production Editor at ejtr@unsw.edu.au. Submission of a manuscript is taken to imply that it is an unpublished work and has not already been submitted for publication elsewhere.

Notes to Authors

1. Submission of contributions is free of charge and should be sent by email to the Production Editor at ejtr@unsw.edu.au.
2. Submission of a paper is taken to be an understanding by the author(s) that the paper is original, unpublished and that it has not already been submitted for publication elsewhere. Articles will not normally be published if they are minor variations of existing analyses, or of interest to a very small audience, or if they are purely descriptive.
3. All submissions must be typed in English, double spaced with wide margin. Manuscripts should include in the cover page: the title of the paper, name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of author(s), email address of the corresponding author, an abstract of no more than 100 words, a list of key words of the article and, if appropriate, acknowledgments of no more than 80 words.
4. The editors will give preference to succinctly written manuscripts. The abstract, introduction and conclusion should be written for the non-specialist. Lengthy mathematical derivations, if any, should be located in appendices.
5. Authors are encouraged to view past issues of the journal for a guide to style before writing and submitting their papers. Manuscripts which require extensive editorial work to comply with the e Journal requirements will be returned to authors for modification.
6. Author may use either of the following two citation styles: the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, available at http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/aglc.asp or the Harvard style, available at http://www.agsm.edu.au/eajm/authornotes.html.
7. If the Harvard style is used, all materials cited in the main text should be listed at the end of the manuscript under the title REFERENCES. All references should be typed double-spaced and appear in alphabetical order of author names. Relevant examples are given below:

Notes on the Assignment of Copyright

1. Prior to publication, authors will be asked to sign a document to (i) grant Atax the absolute and exclusive worldwide copyright of their papers published in the journal, (ii) warrant that they have the right to assign copyright, (iii) warrant that their papers have not been published anywhere else in the world, (iv) warrant their papers do not infringe the rights of any third party, (v) warrant that their papers do not contain material which is deliberately false, defamatory or unlawful, and (vi) agree to indemnify Atax against any loses, damages and costs incurred as a result of any breach by them of any of these obligations or warranties.
2. Despite assigning copyright to Atax, authors retain the right to re-use their published papers in future collections of their own work without fee. Acknowledgments of prior publications in the eJournal of Tax Research and of Atax (as the copyright holder) are the only requirements in such cases.
3. The authors may make photocopies of, or distribute through any media, their published papers for their own teaching and research purposes provided that the eJournal of Tax Research and Atax are clearly stated on each copy made of the paper.
4. The author's consent will be sought before Atax grants permission to any third party to use his/her paper in any academic or commercial exploitation. The permission is assumed to be given if Atax does not hear from the author within thirty days of writing to his/her last known email address.
5. When an article is Crown copyright, Atax must be informed as soon as the article is accepted for publication so that the appropriate arrangement can be made with the relevant office.
