Navigating the evolving landscape of corporate tax: building specialised expertise
Amidst ongoing tax reforms and the dynamic opportunities and challenges presented by the digital economy, Australian businesses require sound tax advice that not only addresses domestic concerns but also tackles international complexities. Corporate Tax goes beyond theory, offering a pragmatic exploration of intricate topics, making them accessible and easily understandable.
This subject will enable you to interpret tax laws, prepare comprehensive advice, and analyse and evaluate alternative strategies for critical scenarios such as consolidations, effective capital management, and tax incentives. This knowledge is invaluable not only for corporate groups but also for public and private companies.
Corporate Tax will also equip you with the skills to provide insightful guidance to clients within a global context, tackling issues such as BEPS (base erosion profit shifting).
This subject is offered via distance learning using an online learning platform supported by pre–recorded webinars and email support from the Convenor, a subject matter expert.
