The purpose of this subject is to provide students with the opportunity to apply knowledge of taxation laws to the financial services industry. Key concepts are reviewed briefly, but the emphasis is on application of both concepts and technical legal knowledge to issues relevant to the financial services industry. Matters arising under the income tax, goods and services tax and fringe benefits tax systems are considered. Ultimately, students should be able to identify appropriate taxation strategies that may be used in the financial services sectors. |
