Abstract

Increasing conflicts and fears of overreach by tax administrators have seen many countries generate taxpayer-specific statements of rights. Australia has a Taxpayer's Charter but experience with this illustrates the limitations of both the Charter, unsupported by legislative mandate, and the traditional legal remedies in the resolution of tax controversies. The evident need for more effective recognition of taxpayers' rights has resulted in the Inspector-General of Taxation currently reviewing the Charter. A source of inspiration could be the tax jurisprudence stemming from the European Convention on Human Rights.
