Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, the student should be able to understand the main issues relating to the national tax system and be able to navigate basic issues of European and international tax law, 

Knowledge and understanding:
At the end of the course the student should know the basic concepts of the general part of tax law, the essential elements and the taxation mechanism of individual taxes, the settlement and assessment procedures, as well as the essential elements of the tax process.

Applying knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student must be able to use the acquired knowledge to solve practical cases (of a complexity appropriate to the level of training). On the basis of the presentation of a "plausible" case, the student shall be able to identify the reference legal system (whether national, European or transnational tax law issues), the tax in question and the possibilities of protection afforded to taxpayers.

Making judgements
The aim is to equip the student with the ability to relate the fundamental knowledge of tax law acquired during the course to current news, to political-economic events relating to the tax system and to develop the ability to identify the presence of tax reasons in public management choices.

Communication skills
At the end of the course the student should know and master the technical-legal language specific to national, European and transnational tax law.

Learning skills
Upon completion of the course, students will have acquired a good autonomy in reading study materials and materials available in the media with reference to the topics of the course. Students will have acquired the ability, in the light of their knowledge, to critically evaluate phenomena and situations that characterise the role of the state in everyday life.
