Biography

Christine Peacock is an active early career researcher with more than 20 publications. The focus of her research so far has been taxation law, particularly the design and reform of goods and services tax (GST) and value added tax (VAT) systems (from an international perspective).

A career break from academia where Christine held a leadership role at KPMG Malaysia during the introduction of GST in Malaysia and worked at the leading cross-border tax expertise provider in Amsterdam has enriched her research which has been cited as an example of comparative tax scholarship.

Christine authored the Malaysian GST Handbook (Sweet & Maxwell, 2015) and edited the book GST in Australia: Looking forward from the First Decade (Thomson Reuters, 2011). She was formerly the General Editor of the Australian GST Journal and was involved in editing the International VAT Monitor and the World VAT Database at the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation.
