In-depth US international corporate taxation: March 2019
Mar 26-29
Goes deeper into the detail of US corporate tax as it applies to international transactions
This course is ideal for those who have been working with US international tax for some time and now wish to explore some of the more complex areas. And because its structure mirrors the syllabus for paper 2 of the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation it is ideal preparation for those planning to take that exam. The level of knowledge required will assume that you have either attended the “Introduction to US international taxation” course or already are comfortable to that level. The compact nature of the course, just 4 days, makes it ideal for busy professionals and/or those travelling from outside the UK.
Most participants at the 2017 course were planning on taking the exam in June of the same year, several already having attended the introductory course in November 2016. Here’s what one had to say: “Very good course. Not only did it give us the need information but also the confidence to tackle the exam. Narelle is an excellent tutor.”
One statistic of which we are rather proud is that in 2017, for the third year, one one of our course participants received the medal for the highest mark in an ADIT paper 2 exam, this year Naomi Wells with a staggering 96%! While all credit must go to the students they have each been kind enough to say that they feel they were more successful thanks to the training course and Narelle MacKenzie’s teaching.
All courses take place at a dedicated training venue in central London. Call +44 (0)1962 458058 or email deborah@djhinternationaltax.com for more details.
