What You'll Learn
TAX509 Selected Topics in Taxation invites participants to update and expand existing tax knowledge by analysing current tax issues and advanced taxation topics as they arise from common international business transactions. As multinational companies look toward overseas markets, suppliers or manufacturing facilities, international tax issues have multiplied and gained in complexity, and have become more global at a speed that outpaces any other area of tax law. It is important for tax professionals keep abreast of these changes and to recognise and understand the consequences and ramifications of these on the manner in which multinational companies intend to do business. Current thinking, techniques and practices adopted in dealing with these issues are explored. Upon completion of the course students will be able to identify and anticipate important international tax issues that may arise in a multinational business transaction or a group restructuring exercise. This course is a ï¿1⁄2deep diveï¿1⁄2 into selected topics already covered in TAX521 OECD Model Tax Convention and TAX525 Transfer Pricing, but which are so important they merit more in-depth study.
