This course provides insight into the Australian taxation system by exploring legal process. Early modules provide an introduction to the legal system illustrated mainly by reference to taxation. Later comes more intensive study of important income and deductions cases, which are thoroughly analysed to impart excellent case and statutory interpretation skills, as a foundation in all law studies. In addition, students gain substantive knowledge of the subject area. The final module places these substantive and legal process issues in the context of the policy of taxation. The course also covers the principles of good legal writing and effective legal research.
