High-profile lecturers from Austria and abroad present current issues in the field of European and International tax law.

Learning outcomes

In the course of three sessions, internationally renowned experts from academia and practice will give lectures about current issues in the field of European and International tax law.

After successful completion of the course students will be able to:

- identify issues in the field of European tax law and selected foreign tax jurisdictions;

- solve complex cases involving cross-border transactions with selected foreign tax jurisdictions;

- understand the basic structures of foreign tax systems and contrast them with the Austrian tax system in order to gain a better insight into the Austrian tax system.

Before each session, a Bridging Course will be held in order to introduce the students to the topics of the lectures. During the Bridging Courses each student is required to give a presentation about a topic that is related to the topic of one of the lectures. Attendance in the Bridging Courses is mandatory.
