Programme Description
In recognition of the difficulty accounting officers often encounter when dealing with and preparing tax computations and returns, this course has been specially designed to assist candidates to overcome obstacles as well as bridge the gap in their knowledge of up-to-date tax management methods. The course will also promote understanding of the tax authorities, their powers and operations. The topics and their treatment will equally be a valuable refresher for officers who are more experienced in these issues. In handling the subject matters, emphasis is all on applications and procedures.
