While covering the direct tax laws, students should familiarise themselves with
considerations relevant to tax management. These may include tax considerations with
regard to specific management decisions, foreign collaboration agreements, international
taxation, amalgamations, tax incentives, personnel compensation plans, inter-relationship
of taxation and accounting, with special reference to relevant accounting standards and
other precautions to be observed to maximise tax relief. Further, they should have a basic
understanding about the ethical considerations in tax management and compliance with
taxation laws.
Note – If new legislations are enacted in place of the existing legislations relating to
income tax and wealth tax, the syllabus will accordingly include such new legislations in
the place of the existing legislations with effect from the date to be notified by the Institute.
