I International Fiscal Association India Branch - Southern Regional Chapter Weekend Course on the Basics of International Taxation (21st March 2015 to 16th May 2015) at “Hotel Benzz Park” Thirumalaipillai Road, T.Nagar, Chennai - 600 017 About the Course on Basics of International Taxation Tax laws in India or elsewhere were, and will always be complex. Integration of economies, increase in the number of cross border transactions (in-bound and out-bound), mergers, acquisitions, tax treaties, transfer pricing coupled with the government’s single point agenda to increase its share of taxes in every transaction (unmindful of the fact that the transaction in only remotely connected to its state) etc. have added to these complexities. The interplay between tax treaties and domestic tax laws is a highly technical and complex study which requires in depth knowledge of the nuances and the niceties of both the systems. Appreciating these increasing complexities in the area of International Taxation, the Southern Regional Chapter of IFA has yet again launched the Course on Basics of International Taxation so that the participants acquire basic knowledge in the area of International Taxation. The Course deals at theoretical level the provisions in the Double Tax Avoidance Treaties (DTAAs) which India has entered and also a variety of issues in cross border taxation. As the structure of the Course also recognises the value of practical exposure it is conducted by a panel of eminent speakers who are well known and well experienced in international tax. The schedule of the Course is enclosed herewith. The topics chosen are contemporary. The Course would be held on a Seminar type format with a blend of presentations and case studies. It is ensured that the speakers also add weight to the discussions with their insights and personal experiences, thereby enhancing the knowledge of the participants. It is the endeavour of the organizers that by attending this Course, the participants are in a position to apply the principles of international tax in their professional corporate, consulting and administrative environments.
