Learning outcomes - Knowledge

The course will give students an in-depth understanding of corporate tax rules. There will be a main emphasis on international issues. Students must have a thorough knowledge of tax agreements, including the relationship between national tax law and tax agreements. Students must also have a good understanding of transfer pricing rules, both in national law and in the tax agreements. The impact of EU law on national tax law is also important, the Four Freedom rules and the government subsidies rules are especially important.
