Testimonial
The advanced diploma in International Taxation is quite a unique course due to its flexibility and vast syllabus covering practically all aspects of international taxation. The diploma is split into three different modules, each one independent of the other, whilst also providing for the option to carry out a thesis and thus exempting one exam.
The first module, named “Principles of International Taxation”, in my opinion, is the area of greatest interest and also the toughest exam, since the information available is so vast. Thus a student will cover areas which will be of great help and use to him when applying such principles in practice, regarding International Taxation.
I was the first Maltese to sit for this exam in May 2005, winning also first prize for obtaining highest marks and was awarded a Gold medal, named after Ms Heather Self, one of the founders of the Diploma, in October 2005, during a ceremony organised by the Chartered Institute of Taxation.
Mentioning my medal, this is another aspect which makes the course interesting, whereby a student is awarded for his efforts since each exam has a prize winning medal and this gives the student an incentive to give his best when sitting for these exams.
My personal view is that the standard of the Diploma is very high. The level is one of the highest in relation to international taxation and I am sure that this course will continue to develop and become more popular amongst lawyers, accountants, auditors, tax consultants both locally and internationally.
