Overview

Through the integration of legal, economic, financial and governance study-units, you will acquire an understanding of how taxes affect decision-making, asset prices and the financial and operational structure of firms. You will be provided with an opportunity to design new tax systems, thus rendering lawyers, accountants, economists and policy makers more proactive in their decision making. You will have the opportunity to gain multiple skills required to undertake impact assessment exercises of existing and new tax-systems, while also evaluating the economic, legal, financial, social and political considerations. Taxation is offered at University of Malta.

Career:

Given the growing importance of the financial services industry both locally and internationally, as well as the ever-increasing rigour in government finance, this programme is considered as a key asset for professional officers in both public and private enterprises. You may also choose to further your studies by reading for a PhD in tax-related fields.
