Is a course on International Taxation and Transfer Pricing relevant for me?
The world is changing faster than ever, and international trade and business has never been as big as it is in the present and it never grew as fast as it is growing now. The opportunity of growth before tax lawyers, international trade experts and finance professionals is phenomenal, as there are few experts who are able to deliver what it takes to make businesses work in this ever-changing world of international trade.
Taxation has always been a niche of a certain category of exclusive professionals. International taxation, especially, has been a highly profitable area of practice, but practised by privileged members of an old boys club, and it has always been difficult to break into the circles of international tax professionals.
Taxation has always been a niche of a certain category of exclusive professionals. International taxation, especially, has been a highly profitable area of practice, but practised by privileged members of an old boys club, and it has always been difficult to break into the circles of international tax professionals.
However, as global trade started growing exponentially in the last decade, professionals firms and business houses started opening doors to other talented individuals as talent deficit has been a restraint on growth for them. The talent deficit in these sectors has never been as high as it is now, and in history, there perhaps never been a better time to learn international taxation, not only because global trade is accelerating but also because the talent supply has fallen far behind industry demands and things are unlikely to change in times to come.
The best thing is that you no more need to specialise as an expert in international taxation, as one had to do once, to benefit from the knowledge of international taxation and transfer pricing. However, practical understanding and expertise of international taxation and transfer pricing now open new doors for all those who practice commercial laws or tax laws, work at CA firms, serve as corporate executives and aspire for decision-making roles like CXO, director or business head.
To answer the question how this course may help in your career, think about the following:
1.Do your business/ employer hire law firms or accountants to do international taxation and transfer pricing related work? What is the average hourly billing rate?
2.What is the volume of international trade your business/employer is involved in? If it does not exist now, is there an aspiration or future plans to participate in the burgeoning global trade?
3.If you are part of a professional firm, like a law firm or CA firm, what is the average salary of those who are working in the international taxation or transfer pricing team? If your firm doesn’t have specialised teams for those practice areas, what are the firms that do have such teams? What is the average salary there?
4.What are the kind of places where you aspire to work in the future? What would be the value of specialised knowledge like this when you apply for a job there? Will additional expertise in these areas, apart from your core competence, help to swing the indicator in your favour or stand out in the crowd at the short-listing stage?
5.Do you want to learn how companies should structure their global operations to save tax, how to apply advance tax planning strategies to unique cross-border structured financial products and how to resolve disputes effectively in the field of international taxation and claim benefits under Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)?
6.How would it be if you can structure international business units, create tax-saving structures for multi-jurisdictional transactions and advice CXO level executives about their next international expansion plans?
7.Would it help your career to grow if you could answer yes to questions like the ones below:
- Can you advise MNCs in structuring the global operations of a business to save tax?
- Do you know how to optimise tax liability for cross-border transactions?
- Do you know how to use tax havens for high-value business transactions?
- How can you save multinational companies from overlapping tax regimes of multiple jurisdictions?
- How should you deal with tax authorities in case of international tax disputes?
- What planning measures can you adopt in case of complex international transactions to minimise tax uncertainty?

What stops professionals and students from continuing their education and professional development?
While you know that knowledge and skills like the ones described above can add tremendous value to your career, you probably do not have time after a full-time job or education that you are already pursuing to learn additional skills even if you really want to. This is the experience of professionals and students across the world as work hours keep expanding and it becomes more and more costly to take leave from a job to attend courses. Only few can afford such luxury.
Keeping this in mind, and to bridge the skill gap that professionals experience, we have been delivering courses through one of world’s most cutting edge online learning technology, accessible 24x7, anywhere in the world, delivered on smartphone apps even when you are away from the wi-fi or mobile network, or the nearest computer screen. You could study our courses even when you are travelling on a flight, or waiting for a meeting to begin
Do I need to know finance or law already to pursue this course?
Not at all. This is strategic and practical knowledge meant for business leaders and consultant level experts. There is nothing to mug up, no quantitative exercises, and no prior knowledge of either law or finance is required to successfully pursue this course, though many legal and finance experts have benefited immensely from our course.
