Informit Indexes

Please note TAXABS is no longer updated. TAXABS will remain available on Informit as an archive database.

Australian Taxation Abstracts Database (TAXABS), produced by Information Services at the Australian Taxation Office, is a bibliographic database that indexes and abstracts journals primarily in the area of taxation law but also including other areas of interest such as child support, accounting, business, finance and superannuation from 1992 to September 2003.

Source documents are journal articles from over 20 journals. Journals such as 'The Bulletin' and 'BRW' are indexed selectively for taxation and related information while others are indexed comprehensively with relevant cases and legislative references included. Note that in legislative references to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA) the title of the Act is not included.

Subject coverage focuses on tax technical information and includes articles on accounting*, auditing*, business, capital gains tax, finance*, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax, international tax (with Australian content), law*, superannuation, taxation rulings, and tax administration.

*Headings used only if the article holds implications for taxation.
