CURRENT EDITION
SUBMISSIONS: OPEN UNTIL Friday 3 July 2026
The 21st edition of the Journal of the Australasian Tax Teachers Association (JATTA) will be published in late 2026.
The Editorial Board invites contributions for possible publication. We particularly welcome submissions on the theme of the 2026 conference – People, Technology, and Taxation – or articles which otherwise further the goals of ATTA and would be of interest to the Australasian tax community.
JATTA publishes articles of between 6,000 – 12,000 words in length (including footnotes but excluding a biography). Submissions should be made by email, presented in double-spaced 12-point Times New Roman font, and accurately adhere to the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (4th edition). An abstract of approximately 100 words should be submitted on a separate page. The editor will determine whether a submission will proceed to peer view.
Authors should review the JATTA Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement before submitting an article for consideration.
Some other points to note:
JATTA is not the proceedings of an ATTA conference. Presentation of a paper for an ATTA conference does not guarantee acceptance for JATTA. Conference papers are often of an exploratory nature.
We will not usually publish more than one article with the same (co) author in the same edition of JATTA.
We will only send for review articles that are discrete items of research. Generally, we do not consider literature reviews to be self-standing research.
Because we do not charge for publication and allow authors free use of edited articles, we expect close compliance with AGLC4.
Even if English is not an author’s first language, we expect their submission to use language appropriate for an Australasian academic journal. (This may require an author to use a copyeditor at their own expense.)
We may reject a non-compliant article at any time before publication.
Submissions to the 2026 edition should be sent to:
Jonathan Barrett at Jonathan.barrett@vuw.ac.nz
SUBMITTING TO JATTA
A call for submissions to JATTA is made following each year's ATTA conference. A proposed article for JATTA must be submitted separately from a paper presented at the annual conference. All submissions are subject to blind review before they may be considered for publication in JATTA.
All correspondence or submissions (if outside the current edition deadline above) should be sent to:
Professor Dale Pinto
Editor-In-Chief, Journal of the Australasian Tax Teachers Association (JATTA)
Professor of Taxation Law
Academic Discipline Lead, Taxation Law
Curtin Law School, Curtin University
Email: Dale.Pinto@cbs.curtin.edu.au
REFEREEING
