Tax laws in India are becoming more and more complex. Globalisation of economies, signing and review of free trade agreements, increase in the number of cross border transactions, mergers, acquisitions, tax treaties, transfer pricing etc. have added to these complexities. While appreciating these increasing complexities in the area of International Taxation, the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has, decided to launch Certificate Course on International Taxation for its members. This would facilitate the members in industry as well in practice to acquire specialized knowledge in the area of International Taxation.
 
Broad objectives:
 
(1)Consistent with the over-riding objective of Post-qualification courses, the Certificate Course in International Taxation is designed to provide a visible means of having acquired specialized knowledge in all aspects of the international taxation.
 
(2)As far as possible the emphasis will be on a problem-solving approach to assist management decision-making and managing the practice of international taxation.
 
This course recognises the need of practical exposure along with theoretical knowledge and provides for a Workshop of 100 hours. The course aims at enhancing the knowledge as well as competency level of the members of the Institute to enable them to compete in the global market.
