About the Programme (February 16th – February 18th, 2011)
Subject: E-Training Programme on Tax Treaties
Background
The Foundation for International Taxation (FIT) has organised a three-day training course on the most important and most practically relevant issues in international tax treaties. It is given by the eminent professors and senior research staff of the Institute for Austrian and International Tax Law at WU in Vienna (Austria). The Institute is renowned as one of the leading academic institutes for the study of international taxation in the world and its Master’s programme on the subject is globally recognised.
The course will be held in south Mumbai from February 16-18, 2011. To make the course affordable, the course will be given by the Austrian professors using video conferencing facilities to avoid the costs of their travel and stay in India. The lectures will be given on pre-recorded video tapes in the morning sessions and will be followed in the afternoon by live sessions using video conferencing facilities. These afternoon sessions will enable the participants to interact with the professors in Vienna with their questions and comments in a classroom environment.
This course is meant for professionals in industry as well as in practice with preferably some knowledge of tax treaties e.g. intermediate to advance levels. However, it may also be suitable for participants who are new to the subject provided they prepare themselves using appropriate reading materials in advance. A sound knowledge of Indian domestic tax laws and treaties is desirable. At the end of the course, the participants will have an overview of the theory and practice of Model tax treaties as well as some of the significant international tax issues in treaty interpretation and application. The Foundation for International Taxation will also award an official certificate of attendance to all attendees on successful completion of the course.
