Eva Huang holds a Masters of Taxation and a B Arts and B Com with First Class Honours in Commercial Law from The University of Sydney, specialising in taxation. Her majors were Accounting, Economics, Social Policy and German.
After graduating, she worked for a year as a policy analyst in the Commonwealth Treasury. She participated in advising the government on tax policies in relation to the not-for-profits sector and in drafting policy in relation to fringe benefits tax.
Eva is currently teaching Australian taxation law and Chinese Tax. The Chinese Tax subjects are amongst the earliest offered in the western world focusing on domestic Chinese Tax, especially from a business point of view. The contents of the subjects are lead directly by her current research in the area, where she is co-authoring the first comprehensive English language research book on Chinese tax, covering both the theoretical and regulatory angles. This project has allowed her to establish close collaborative ties with two universities in China, Xiamen University which has the best Public Finance Program in that country; and the Law School of Sun Yat-Sen University, where she is an adjunct visiting scholar. Eva is on the Chinese Ministry of Finance's list of foreign experts, advising on tax reform issues.
Eva is working on her PhD dissertation, researching whether China is ready to face a centrally administered national social insurance contributions scheme. She is also working on her JD, to gain a broader and deeper understanding of the law.
Eva is an editor of the Journal of Chinese Tax and Policy, the first English language journal with an exclusive focus on the policies and laws of taxation in China.
Eva is a member of the International Fiscal Association by special nomination as an established young researcher. She is also a fellow at the Taxation Law and Policy Research Institute of Monash University. She is a NAATI accredited professional translator experienced at translating and interpreting between Chinese and English in a range of fields, including large scale academic lectures, conferences, high level business negotiations, and journal and book publications.
