Overview of the Tax Group
The Tax Faculty teach a wide range of subjects in postgraduate and undergraduate tax programs across Bachelor, Juris Doctor and Masters degree programs. Our education program is designed and taught in partnership with the profession, government and global faculty. Subjects are taught in cooperation with experienced taxation practitioners including members of leading law and accounting firms and leading members of the Bar and international tax experts. We welcome international students in the postgraduate tax program.
Research is carried out by members of the Tax Group with a technical, public policy and reform focus and tax faculty contribute to public debate on taxation issues. Research interests are diverse and include Australian individual and corporate income tax, comparative and international taxation and critical perspectives on tax and public finance. Much of the research work carried out by the Tax Group is interdisciplinary and comparative in nature. Tax faculty supervise doctoral and Masters research across a range of tax law topics, and host visiting researchers from institutions around the world.
The Tax Group at Melbourne Law School is pleased to host the Annual Tax Lecture, Australian branch meetings of the International Fiscal Association and occasional seminars and conferences on topical tax issues. The Tax Group has strong international tax connections including with New York University; the University of Virginia in the USA; Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation at the Said Business School; and the Cambridge University Law School Centre for Tax Law.
Melbourne Law School offers a wide range of tax subjects in the Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Tax and Master of International Tax, related Graduate Diplomas, Specialist Certificate, as well as in the JD and undergraduate degrees at the University of Melbourne.

They may later transfer to the Masters degree.
Single Subjects for Professional Development
Practitioners who do not wish to enrol in a degree course can enrol in individual subjects for professional development purposes.
