What You'll Learn
This course is offered under the Faculty of Law's Graduate Coursework Programmes in Corporate & Financial Services Law.
In today's global digital world, national tax systems face new challenges. Governments large and small cooperate in tax enforcement including through strengthened anti-abuse rules, yet tax competition continues. Uncertainty, complexity and risk have increased for taxpayers ranging from individuals to multinational enterprises. Recent developments in the OECD Inclusive Framework and other forums may lead to significant new global tax rules, but an agreed outcome is far from certain. This course explores the latest trends and issues in personal and corporate income tax and Goods and Services Tax that address digital or cross-border services or employment, consumption, and investment.
