The Community Tax Project

Building capacity within and between the academic and community/welfare sectors

The Community Tax Project seeks to build capacity within and between the academic and community/welfare sectors to better advocate on tax system design and reform so that taxation is better viewed, valued and used as both a means to sustainably fund essential social services and improve economic distribution in support of social equity.

This project is supported a coproductive development grant awarded as part of the Melbourne Social Equity Institute's 2022 seed funding round.
