Course Overview

The “Certificate in International Taxation Principles and Practices to Combat Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance” is a program for tax professionals who want to effectively manage cross-border tax operations, keep their competitive edge in international taxation, and ultimately become widely recognized as qualified experts in international taxation principles and the combat of tax evasion and avoidance.

The majority of economic analyses of taxation make the assumption that determining tax liability and collecting taxes are both free of charge, but is this ever the case? In many jurisdictions, tax avoidance and evasion are commonplace, which indisputably distorts tax structures. As a result, it is necessary to update conventional taxation models and their judgments to take these realities into account.

An extra set of policy-related topics are covered in this course, such as the appropriate amount of resources to allocate for administration and execution and how those resources should be used.

The elasticity of the reaction itself becomes an element of the implementation of the policy due to the range of policy instruments that can impact the scope and nature of tax avoidance and evasion responses.

Participants will receive a professional certificate of acknowledgment from the Training Bee training program, which will provide you greater reputation in the international tax world and attest to your complete study of international taxation principles.
