What You'll Learn

TAX533 Landmark Cases in Income Tax and Handling Tax Controversy builds on the skills that the student acquired in TAX501 Taxation - Legal Framework and Policy. In Part I of TAX533 the students are required to immerse themselves in cases which are more complex and where there are more than one judgement involved. Using skills from the earlier course, students learn how to identify the ratio decideni in cases where more than one judge provides a judgement. In the process of this, the students also get to explore major cases in Income Tax, and understand why these cases are important to our understanding of Income Tax law of Singapore today. In Part II, the students will explore cases, but in this set of cases, they will be looking more to the deft handling or missteps in the handling of the cases, and learn from the cases how a tax controversy should (or should not) be handled.
