Subject matter

The syllabus goes into identifying the corporate taxation different levels of action, allowing for the student to become aware of them and start reflecting on those various tax levels that are underlined on corporation activity. Because of that, when analysing the different macro corporation tax problems, the student will be able to determine the main tax principles that conduct corporate taxation and the economics and social consequences of that specific taxation.

Because nowadays tax compliance is a major corporate obligation and necessity, items such as morality and ethics must be present at the same time as the legal commands are. Dealing with these mixed realities must be trained and understood, which is made on Part III, allowing the student, at the end, to design of a proper risk analysis on tax planning and tax compliance.

Taking into account the European context in particular, determining how EU normative work influence the Corporate Taxation is of utmost importance, turning possible a reflection on how nowadays corporate decisions and obligations are managed by European corporation, in order to decrease tax compliance risks and protect the possible corporate tax planning activities.
