Accounting with an Emphasis on Business Taxation

Introduction

The training Course “ACCOUNTING WITH EMPHASIS ON BUSINESS TAXATION” is structured into two self-contained Teaching/Thematic Units, each lasting four months. The Course covers, both theoretically and in practice, the completion of and familiarisation with the personal income tax return, the forms submitted with it, the supporting documents required for the recognition of any income tax exemptions, and the detailed tax guide for each tax year. The Course also deals with topics such as: a) gathering the relevant information (i.e. the key tax and other related regulatory provisions) that determines the scope of income tax obligations (theoretical approach); b) organising and presenting this information by individual area of taxation, so that it is easier both to look up and to apply (from theory to practice); and c) presenting practical examples and highlighting special issues (practical dimension). Overall, the Course helps trainees acquire a basic knowledge of income taxation for natural and legal persons.
