ELRI is concerned to take a leading role in this topic. There has been a more clear recognition over the last few years of the importance and the skills required for optimal tax design and drafting.

To this end, ELRI is opening up discussions with the people involved both at State and Commonwealth level, such as Commonwealth Treasury, Queensland Office of Parliamentary Counsel, other State/Territory and OPC counterparts to identify current drafting principles, other available approaches open here and internationally and to try to measure their respective effectiveness.
