Over the past few years, the TRN Blog has grown into an active and widely read platform for short, accessible scholarship in tax research and education. It reflects the diversity of the Tax Research Network community, featuring contributions and readers from academia, industry, government and the third sector, across many jurisdictions. Posts draw on a range of fields that cut across tax including law, economics, sociology, accounting, behavioural sciences, and public policy and administration.

The blog now hosts a substantial archive of posts that highlight emerging debates, interdisciplinary insights and topical issues in taxation. We have maintained strong commitment to supporting early career researchers and creating a space where high quality work can engage a broad audience beyond specialist readerships.

We typically aim to publish one post each month. All published pieces are shared through TRN communication channels and social media (LinkedIn and X) to encourage ongoing discussion and engagement with contemporary tax research. Comments on posts remain disabled, but readers are welcome to continue conversations on social media and within their own personal and professional networks.

We hope you enjoy exploring the contributions and we warmly welcome new submissions that help shape and advance debate, reflection and understanding in tax research.
