Award in Taxation United Kingdom (TX- UK)

Programme at a Glance

The Award in Taxation - United Kingdom (TX-UK) programme has been developed to enable students gain an understanding of the UK taxation system. It combines practical knowledge with the principles behind taxation rather than focusing only on tax rules. Tax plays a role in almost all financial decisions a person or a business makes, and this course shows you exactly how and why. It explains how the tax system works in the UK, which groups of people and businesses it concerns and how it influences the decisions for individuals, single companies, and groups of companies.

Throughout the programme, you will get insights into major aspects of UK taxation, such as income tax, corporation tax, national insurance, value-added tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. You will learn how to compute tax liabilities correctly and explain how you arrived at each figure using examples that are real and not fictitious ones. The course also includes basic tax planning skills and compliance practices. The award will prepare you for accounting, tax and finance-related roles or use it as a stepping stone for further professional study.
