B Taxation (1 Viewer)

[choc-chip]

Any1 has ideas abt dis course? i'm interested since they dun sound like picky...but the career seems a bit limited, does it?

 

[redslert]

is this taxation law?

if it is, from what a friend who does it tell me, the course has like less than 10 people and most of them are postgrads

It's a very set program - ie you do specific ATAX subjects in order for you to recieve professional recognition, but yeah, its limited in that you can only basically work as a taxation consultant or similar

Wouldnt it be like , an extension of accounting ?

 

[Minai]

well its basically a combined taxation/accounting program

 

[Grizzly]

ah yea, i see, coz i would think it is very specialised sort of field...
like, you would find many taxation workers have completed an accting degree.?

 

[choc-chip]

i think there is a connection with the CPA pr CA stuffs..is it?

i actually dreaming do bus admin/ commerce-accountancy at MQ..
but i dun think i can get in ..and datz why i thought of doing the B Taxation..
is dat mainly about laws? can i changed 2 the commerce faculty at the 2nd yr?
since the B taxation sounds pretty boring

yeah you can always apply to transfer after 1 year, but you'll have to do well in your first year (see the Transfers subforum in Uni General)

 

[choc-chip]

i have 4 friends who are doing or have done taxation in the school of Business Law and they all said its good in terms of job placements.... like if u just want to do taxation... then a commerce degree with a biz law major is considered to b more or less on the same level as a law student... (only refering to taxation)

this is because in law.. u study a wide ranging of topics.. and whereas with commerce, u more or less specialise it...

i am currently considering whether i should go down the path of taxation.. and i had a talk with jason harris (legt 1711 legal environment lecturer), and he said personally his law degree didnt teach him half of the taxation stuff you would learn in taxation with a commerce degree at unsw....

so if ur worried u cant really find jobs.. dont worry... there are certainly jobs out there related to taxation..... but dont think of biz law as a supplement for a law degree cuz its v different.

but...on ATO they said this yr'z cut off will be somewhere like 85....whereas on the UAC book...it's like 80something~~~
Not a bad course i think...u can study oversea too rite???

 

[truly-in-bliss]

ummm.... i dunno which one u are refering to?? maybe B. Taxation? .. cuz i am refering to B. Commerce/Economics majoring in Business Law....and thatz mid 90s for uai at unsw

i think thatz the one minai is refering to as well...
