Tax research is a rapidly evolving field, covering various critical topics related to taxpayer compliance, administrative efficiency, and the impact of fiscal policies. This study aims to synthesize and critically analyze the latest developments in the tax research literature. Through a comprehensive review of 10 recent journals, significant trends were identified, such as the increased use of big data for compliance analysis, the application of blockchain technology for transparency, and efforts to enhance public awareness and participation in the tax system. Additionally, the critical examination also revealed challenges that still need to be addressed, such as the gap between policy and implementation, as well as ethical issues related to the use of personal taxpayer data. These findings provide a holistic view of the direction of tax research development and recommendations for future research and policy agendas.
