About this Course

Tax laws in India are becoming more and more complex. Globalization of economies, signing and review of free trade agreements, increase in the number of cross border transactions, mergers, acquisitions, tax treaties, transfer pricing etc. have added to these complexities. To build the capacities in the area of international taxation, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India with the approval of Ministry of Corporate Affairs has brought out a Post Qualification Diploma in International Taxation for its members.

The syllabus of this course has been thoughtfully designed by the stalwarts in the profession to ensure that the member acquire working knowledge and are able to identify and resolve specific problem areas in a variety of practical situations. Considering the necessity for providing dedicated and focused guidance, equal weightage has been given to the subjects of “Transfer Pricing” and “International Tax”. The background material of the course has been written and reviewed by eminent experts in the area of taxation. This course, if completed, would provide an aspiring practitioner the desired confidence to practice in this complex and upcoming field. As there are only few chartered accountants who are practicing in this area, there are plentiful of professional opportunities available for the person who masters in this.

This course has been designed to provide necessary exposure and practical approach to our members in this area. This field has been offering a lot of professional opportunities for our members, which needs to be tapped. At present, the members practicing in this area are not in proportion to the opportunities available. Thus, ICAI took this initiative to encourage its members, particularly, the young members to take up international taxation as an area of practice. Our chartered accountants perfectly fit in the much required advisory role in the area of International taxation and this course will gear them up to face the challenges involved in this upcoming professional opportunity.
