Introduction to US international corporate taxation: London, dates to be confirmed
Nov 27-29
A comprehensive overview of US international tax focusing on inbound and outbound investment by corporations
This course is ideal for those new to US international tax or who work in the area less frequently. Many participants at previous courses work in the tax departments of US companies outside the US and wish to broaden their understanding of the principles and/or the work done by their colleagues in the United States. It is also ideal preparation for those planning to take the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation exam US option but who have little existing knowledge and need an introduction to a very different tax system before tackling the more complex areas that our in-depth course addresses. (The tutor will assume that participants are familiar with international tax concepts generally.) The compact nature of the course, just three days, makes it ideal for busy professionals and/or those travelling from outside the UK.
Please note that the course focuses on corporate tax issues.
