The overall focus is to study and road-test the impact of some specific changes in tax legislation or administration, such as those set out in the Discussion Paper "Making Tax Easier for Small Businesses." The scoping report aims to sketch out a general research design and approach suitable to provide the basis for an understanding of compliance cost issues for small and medium business in New Zealand in the next 5-10 years.
Atax Academics are leading a team of tax experts to the People's Republic of China to assist in the development of the Chinese Taxation System. Funded by AUSAID, the year long project is part of the review currently being undertaken by the Chinese Government, and could have a far-reaching impact on the population and investment in the country. The successful tender highlights the reputation of Atax and its staff internationally, and presents the unique opportunity to shape the tax policy that will affect over one billion of the world's population.
This is a collaborative project between Atax and the Institute of Finance and Trade Economics (Chinese Academy of Social Sciences). The project has operated from late 1999 and is funded by an ACILP grant from AusAID. It has three interrelated objective: (i) to investigate and report on the complexity of the overall tax system in China in comparison with the overall Australian tax system, (ii) to investigate and report on the relationship between national and sub-national taxation approaches - in Australia and China, and (iii) provide recommendations for key tax reform requirements in China from an Australian perspective. The final report is due to be out very shortly. |
