The core mission Of the Journal Of The American Taxation Association, the leading journal in tax research, is to advance a deeper understanding of tax issues through a multidisciplinary approach. It encourages scholars to use different research methods, including quantitative analysis, case studies, experimental design, and descriptive research, to explore a wide range of topics such as tax policy, tax administration, tax compliance, tax planning, and international taxation.

The publication of the journal not only provides a platform for tax professionals, academics and policy makers to exchange the latest research results, but through the publication of high-quality academic papers, it also helps to shape and drive knowledge development and practice innovation in the field of tax. These findings may address the economic effects of taxation, the impact of tax policy on business behaviour, best practices in tax system design, and the challenges and opportunities of taxation in the context of globalisation.
