ABOUT THE AFRICAN MULTIDISCIPLINARY TAX JOURNAL

The African Multidisciplinary Tax Journal (AMTJ ) is an annual, applied scientific journal that is double-blind peer-reviewed. The journal publishes original high-quality research papers that use analytical, empirical and contemporary methods across the whole spectrum of taxation research. It is an initiative of the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF), an international organisation that acts as a platform for promoting co-operation, knowledge sharing and capacity building among African revenue administrations (RAs) thereby reducing duplication of work. From its inception in 2009, when it was formally launched in Kampala, Uganda, ATAF has grown in stature and in influence. Today, ATAF is an important voice in taxation globally with its membership at 44 African tax administrations.

AMTJ Aims and Scope

In line with the vision and objectives of the African Tax Research Network (ATRN) launched in 2015 which is intended to be a platform of choice for African Tax Research; the AMTJ aims at promoting a high-level, quality, evidence-based, original multi-disciplinary research papers, using theoretical, analytical, empirical, experimental, and field study methods in all areas of taxation. Additionally, AMTJ is targeted at:

bridging the gap between academic researchers and tax practitioners in Africa,
promoting high-level research in the areas of tax policy, legislation and tax administration in Africa;
collating and promoting homegrown innovative applied solutions, backed by theoretical, empirical and exploratory research to assist in strengthening African tax systems and maximise domestic resource mobilisation (DRM);
becoming a reference point for researchers, government, leaders of thought, decision-makers, opinion moulders, brand ambassadors and policymakers in Africa, and
contributing to the body of literature/scientific knowledge, thus enhancing research capacity, knowledge-sharing and exchange of best practices on tax matters in Africa.
