Overview and learning objectives
This tax course is designed to provide participants with all the essential aspects of international taxation. The first three days are dedicated to the fundamental concepts relevant to the interpretation and application of tax treaties. This introduction provides participants with the conceptual tools to fully grasp issues discussed on Day 4 and Day 5. Day 4 deals with the principles of transfer pricing and how these principles apply to business restructurings and intra-group services. Day 5 provides an overview of basic tax planning structures, an insight into the application of the most common anti-avoidance provisions and the impact of the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project on tax treaty provisions.
This is an interactive course with a maximum of 32 participants. Participants will have access to relevant online collections on the IBFD Tax Research Platform for a period of two weeks.
Field of study
TaxesWho should attend?
The course is suitable for practitioners in tax advisory firms, tax specialists in commerce and industry, government officials who regularly encounter issues related to cross-border taxation and anyone who desires to develop a comprehensive understanding of international taxation principles. While the course is suitable for practising professionals, it may also be considered a useful starting point in the preparation for the CIOT examination - Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT - Paper I). Further information about this qualification can be found at the ADIT website.
Course level and prerequisitesThis is an introductory-level course. Participants should have a basic knowledge of the domestic law of at least one country as it relates to corporate taxation, specifically, taxation of foreign income derived by resident companies and domestic-source income received by non-resident companies. In addition, a very basic understanding of the function of double tax treaties would be helpful, but the course will proceed on the assumption that course participants are new to dealing with tax treaties. This will ensure that they can get a full grasp of transfer pricing and tax planning issues on Day 4 and Day 5.Pre-course preparation
