Tax Rights Blog

Tax Rights Blog is a platform of the East African Tax and Governance Network (EATGN). The blog seeks to put out opinion columns, book commentary, video review and literature critique on tax rights issues within a global, continental, regional or national context.

The purpose of these articles is to discuss current and upcoming events or debates, thereby drawing attention to research and expertise on the subject. They should be written in an engaging, non-academic style, and ideally focus on one core message. Likewise, they must have a very clear news hook (a recent event, a public statement, a global day of remembrance, or event of massive global significance)

Articles should also not include any form of formal referencing (no footnotes, no in-text forms) – but hyperlinks speaking to certain facts or statements are encouraged. They should include mention of any relevant links for further reading: publications, other op-eds on the same topic, etc.

For original submissions the total word count including the author signoff (Name, credentials, email and twitter) are as follows:

• Tax Rights Witness: 650 – 750 words
• Tax Rights Perspective: 800 – 900 words
• Tax Rights Focus: 950 – 1150 words

For submissions already published elsewhere send the original link to EATGN for consideration before posting up on our website. All authors and contributors are welcome to submit to Tax Rights Blog by sending an initial email outlining the proposed subject or article to info@eataxgovernance.net
