Description

This course provides material on current developments in Tax Administration. It is an integral part of a new program intended to satisfy demand from students, employed or potentially to be employed, in revenue authorities world-wide (but particularly in developing and transitional economies), for an articulated series of postgraduate courses of direct revelance to their work.

This course is one of three compulsory core courses which will be held in Sydney in consecutive weeks in a four week residential block each year from 2010.
