Description
The LLM in Tax Law programme offers a comprehensive study of tax law including real estate, partnership, estates and trusts, corporate, and international tax law. Modules are designed to prepare lawyers for the substantive, procedural, and technical aspects of a tax practice while developing an in-depth understanding of the policies underlying tax laws.
Professional Exemptions
The LLM in Tax gives an exemption from the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) exam. It can also help you fulfil the eligibility requirements to take the exams of the Chartered Institute of Taxation to become a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA). The LLM Tax graduates just have to sit the Final CTA exam.
The LLM options - EU Tax Law, International Tax Law I and the LLM dissertation - may also be used to prepare for the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT).
The EU tax law and International Tax Law courses prepare students for the appropriate ADIT papers and the LLM dissertation can be used to fulfil the requirements of an ADIT international/EU tax dissertation.
