Associate Professor Ann Kayis-Kumar's聽research conceptualises tax as a mechanism to achieve social justice across the taxpaying spectrum; ranging from improving the integrity of taxing multinationals to improving the wellbeing of financially vulnerable individuals and small businesses.
She is the Founding Director of 黑料网大事记 Tax and Business Advisory Clinic, which bridges the gap between grassroots community support and empirical research by supporting people in serious hardship and in turn aggregating client data to identify systemic issues. Ann has presented her research team's findings at multiple Parliamentary hearings, and聽is also regularly involved in the media, with appearances on ABC's The Business, ABC Radio National and Channel 10's The Project.聽Notably, Ann's research and law reform proposals have been adopted by national reviews including the Report of the Rapid Review of Prevention Approaches to End Gender-Based Violence and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services's Financial Abuse Inquiry.聽Ann also regularly presents her research at national and international conferences, including at Oxford University and the University of Cambridge.
Ann serves on a range of industry, government agency and community sector committees including the ATO's Small Business and National Tax Clinic Stewardship Groups, the Australian Financial Security Authority鈥檚 Consumer Consultative Panel, the Law Council of Australia's Taxation Committee, the Tax Institute鈥檚 NSW Technical and SME & Tax Practitioner Committees, and the Economic Abuse Reference Group's (EARG) Business and Tax Working Group.
