Description

Understanding Tax is for students who want a non-technical, practical introduction to our tax system. Whatever career or lifestyle you're contemplating, tax will be an important consideration in decisions you make -- whether it's about buying or renting accommodation, amounts that have to be disclosed to the Tax Office, expenses that can be claimed as deductions, how to fill out a tax return, investing in shares, how much tax you have to pay, whether there are acceptable ways of minimising your tax liability, and what you can do if you're unhappy about a Tax Office decision. The course will be taught in two-hour classes made up of a lecture followed by discussions and practical exercises.
