The International Conference on Tax Administration

Abstract

The 12th International Conference on Tax Administration was organised by the School of Taxation and Business Law of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Business School, and took place in Sydney on 31 March and 1 April 2016. The first of these conferences was held at the University of Newcastle NSW in 1994. In 1996, the second conference was held at the UNSW and subsequent conferences have taken place there every two years. This paper looks back at the original 1994 conference and considers how its original aims and contribution were reflected in subsequent conferences, and whether the subject matter's focus may have changed over the following 22 years, paying particular attention to the 2016 conference.
