RESEARCH NOTE

A Research Guide To International Tax:

An Australian Perspective

1. INTRODUCTION

International tax in Australia has largely been the poor cousin to Australian domestic taxation issues. This has changed recently, first, with the review of Australia’s international tax arrangements and second with the enactment of the following Acts:

New International Tax Arrangements Act 2004 (Cth).

New International Tax Arrangements (Participation Exemption and Other Measures) Act 2004 (Cth).

New International Tax Arrangements (Managed Funds and Other Measures) Act 2005 (Cth).

New International Tax Arrangements (Foreign-Owned Branches and Other Measures) Act 2005 (Cth).

In the light of these changes, it is timely to consider how one might go about researching international tax materials, using traditional library resources, as well as online resources, including the Internet.

Some of the sources used in the compilation of this guide include the online catalogues of Curtin University of Technology, the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney, the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation, and York University, Canada. Most of the publications listed here were published in the past fifteen years.

2. USING THE LIBRARY CATALOGUE

Most Australian academic libraries use Library of Congress subject headings. This can sometimes be a problem for Australian researchers as Congress headings use American subject headings that may not generally be used in Australia. Most of the time, it is therefore wise to search online catalogues using the keyword approach.

Here is a list of frequently used subject headings relevant for international tax.

Corporations, Foreign — Taxation — Australia

Double Taxation

Double Taxation — Australia

Double Taxation — Australia — Treaties

Double Taxation — Periodicals

Intergovernmental Tax Relations — Periodicals

International Business Enterprises — Taxation — Case Studies

International Business Enterprises — Taxation — Law and Legislation

International Offshore Financial Centres

International Tax Planning. Expatriates and Migrants

Investments, Foreign — Taxation

Tax Havens — Congresses

Tax Havens — Handbooks, Manuals, etc

Tax Shelters — Congresses

Tax Shelters — Law and Legislation — United States

Tax shelters — Law and legislation — United States — Popular Works

Tax Shifting — Australia

Taxation, Double

Taxation, Double — Australia

Taxation, Double — Treaties — Congresses

Transfer Pricing — Accounting

Transfer Pricing — Case Studies

Transfer Pricing — Law and Legislation

Transfer Pricing — Taxation — Law and Legislation.

Keywords that may also be useful include the following:

Controlled Foreign Corporations/Companies

Residence

Foreign Tax Credits

Foreign Investment Funds

6. GOVERNMENT REPORTS

Often, major tax reviews, such as the review of Australia’s international tax arrangements, are preceded by the release of a Government report and a period of consultation. See, for instance, the Ralph Committee Review of Business Taxation, An International Perspective, Discussion Paper, examining how other countries approach business taxation, December 1998: http://www.rbt.treasury. gov.au and a Report was released by the Board of Taxation in Australia in connection with the review of Australia’s international tax arrangements.

19. CONCLUSION

Researching taxation issues can be a daunting task; researching international taxation issues can be even more daunting. Despite the power and promise of the Internet, while much information is now easily accessible, it is widely dispersed and not necessarily organised in a logical place or sequence. It is hoped that this guide to finding international tax resources provides a useful starting point to anyone who wishes (or needs to) find materials dealing with international taxation.
