Tax Institute announces postgrad course
TaxThe Tax Institute has been formally recognised as a higher education provider and will now offer a postgraduate qualification in tax.
The institute has gained accreditation for its Graduate Diploma of Applied Tax Law.
Noel Rowland, chief executive of the Tax Institute said the qualification is important given the tax environment is set to intensify over the next decade and beyond.
“This complexity will be driven by shifts right across the taxation system," he said.
“As a result, tax professionals need to equip themselves with the skills and capabilities to provide higher-order professional tax advice.”
The postgrad course will be launched in coming months and is designed to meet the changing needs of, and demands on, tax professionals in the next decade and beyond, Mr Rowland said.
“This is a significant milestone for the tax profession and for The Tax Institute as it anticipates the changing needs in the skills of tax professionals in the coming decade."
The Tax Institute is the only designator of the internationally recognised ‘Chartered Tax Adviser’ title in Australia.
