Higher Degrees by Research - Taxation Law and Policy Research Institute

The Department of Business Law and Taxation offers a unique comprehensive supervision program for Ph.D. program for students specialising in taxation law. Full-time students are located at the Clayton campus of Monash University in premises containing a tax research library, located in a building immediately next to a law library. The program has access to the most comprehensive taxation law research materials in Australia including all materials published by the OECD, International Bureau for Fiscal Documentation, Tax Analysts, and others.

Support includes an unmatched supervision program integrated into the Taxation Law and Policy Research Institute's international fellow and international conference programs. Arrangements are made for Ph.D. students to meet with visiting international fellows and attend conferences organised by the Institute.

Importantly, direct coaching and assistance is provided with key research applications including those for participation in International Fiscal Association congress poster session and the International Bureau for Fiscal Documentation doctoral colloquia. More taxation law students supervised from the Monash Department of Business Law and Taxation have participated in the IFA and IBFD programs than from any other taxation law program in Australia.

The program also includes support for attendance at the annual Australasian Tax Teachers Association conference. In 2010, six of the Department's taxation law Ph.D. candidates will present at the ATTA conference.
