Why this programme?
Which country has got the most advantageous taxation scheme in a specific situation? And what are the consequences of new tax laws on specific companies? Those are just some examples of the questions you’ll be confronted with as a tax specialist. Tax law is a constantly changing field of law that will stretch your intellectual abilities.
This specialisation is a cooperation between Maastricht University, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Tilburg University. This means that you will follow most of your courses at Maastricht University, but you will also take one course in Tilburg. Please consider that the required travel expenses are excluded from the tuition fee (estimated at EUR 350 if you are not eligible for student finance).
Meet the requirements for the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors
Students that have studied Fiscaal Recht or Fiscal Economics can jointly replace the courses ‘Fundamentals of International Taxation’ and ‘European Corporate Tax’ with the course ‘Europese en Nederlandse Vennootschapsbelasting’ and an elective. In addition, with such a Dutch tax law background, the specialisation will allow you to comply with the requirements you’ll need to meet to become a member of the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors (NOB). The international orientation of the programme will therefore not hamper your ability to pursue a career in the Netherlands.
