School of Commerce

The new Master of Taxation Programme offered by the School Commerce is designed to meet the needs of taxation practitioners for specialist knowledge of laws, policies and procedures relating to taxes levied in South Africa and elsewhere and for highly developed skills in the interpretation and application of such tax legislation and policies. The purpose of this interdisciplinary Programme is to produce graduates with advanced knowledge and skills in taxation who will be independent thinkers and problem-solvers, who can interpret tax legislation and who can apply theory to practical, real-life situations. The Programme will ensure that graduates have a sound conceptual understanding of the relevant theories and approaches, as well as the taxation legislative and policy frameworks. The Programme also aims to produce graduates who have strong research skills and who are capable of advancing knowledge in the field of taxation.
