Tax Counsel's Report
Published on 01 Aug 05 by "TAXATION IN AUSTRALIA" JOURNAL ARTICLE
Each week in TaxVine, I report on emerging tax policy and administrative issues being pursued on behalf of Members by the President, members of various national and state technical committees and Institute volunteers, supported by the Institute's Tax Policy and Research Division. As these reports are merely a snap shot of the tax technical issues of importance during that particular week, often Members are not fully appraised of the success or otherwise of our endeavours. Therefore, as I did in August last year I thought it useful in my report this month to update Members on the progress of a selected number of these projects.
