ACC4006W - Taxation (Honours)

Teaching Strategy

Each week students are expected to read and learn between six and sixteen tax cases on the topic of the week and be prepared to discuss these during the seminar sessions. They also expected to know the relevant sections of the Income Tax Act and other statutes as appropriate, and to have read and be familiar with the recommended text books. The course is run on a participative basis and passive attendance or lack of preparation will be exposed and could result in offenders being excluded from the course at any time. It must be emphasised that the course convenor acts as a facilitator and not as a lecturer.

Three income tax moot courts will be held during the course. Students will be required in groups to prepare heads of argument and to participate in the moot courts, which will be held in the seminar room situation.
