International taxation comprises a complex body of learning which is relevant to any cross border event whether that be in the form of cross border investment or cross border movement of people. This course exposes participants to the main aspects of the law which are relevant specifically to preventing avoidance of taxpayer obligations in respect of Australia's international taxation jurisdiction. The areas covered need to be clearly understood by anyone dealing with cross border income flows in order to avoid inadvertently falling into an unexpected trap created by these provisions.
