Taxation

'This unique book offers new ways of thinking for practitioners and researchers to explore tax policy, its practical application and its critical importance in modern society.' John Hasseldine, University of New Hampshire, USA 'This book on tax research fills an important gap in tax literature. It wets the appetite for tax research by cogently discussing methodology and by providing clear summaries of key theories and their application, revealing tax as a socio-political phenomenon.' Helen Oakes, Keele University, UK 'A work of exemplary breadth and scholarship which should serve as a clarion call for further research into taxation from a social science perspective.' John Ward, Emeritus Professor of Taxation, University of Ulster, UK 'This volume contains some excellent contributions to fieldwork research in taxation. Both experienced researchers and those new to the fascinating world of tax research will find this an interesting and useful resource.' Simon James, University of Exeter Business School, UK and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Taxation 'Lynne Oats has created a useful, practical book that will undoubtedly encourage new and exciting research in the tax field. This is timely given that the need to better understand this subject is more in the public consciousness at present than it has been at any time in recent history, yet has not always been well served by the approaches taken to its exploration.' Andrew Lymer, Professor of Accounting and Taxation, University of Birmingham, UK 'This book, which includes contributions by a number of prominent tax researchers, reflects the multidisciplinary nature of tax research by bringing together alternative methodologies, and explaining the application of each.' Helen Hodgson, University of New South Wales, Australia
