Synopsis

MBA563 Global Tax Strategies for Business is a course designed to equip executives with applied tax knowledge in this era of globalisation. It is neither a computational accounting course, nor a technical legal course, but a business management course from the tax perspective. This course is broadly organised into two parts: (a) comparative tax systems; and (b) global tax planning. Students begin this course by learning tax principles through the appreciation of Singapore’s tax system – various frameworks will be introduced to assist students in analysing and evaluating other contemporary tax systems in the marketplace to facilitate their globalisation efforts. Thereafter, students move on to explore various business arrangements from the lens of the taxman through the use of case studies – various pitfalls in global tax planning strategies will be highlighted to assist students in making well-informed business decisions. This course will benefit executives who wish to strategise and grow their business internationally, whilst preserving after-tax profits as part of good corporate governance.
