Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The objectives are to provide members of the class with knowledge of the main UK taxes, and how they interrelate, and to help them develop their analysical powers in a highly technical area of law, and to enhance their skills at applying the law to factual situations.
Class members will gain experience in using highly technical statutory material, and in applying it in practical contexts. Through the worksheets, they will gain the benefit of self-directed learning, whilst at the same time supported by the tutorial programme and question and answer sessions.
