Learning outcomes:
International Taxation:
The course provides in-depth knowledge about the international fiscal framework important for international economic operations.
The students will first be introduced to the fundamental problems of possible double taxation at home and abroad. It is important here to distinguish whether it is a case of a resident tax payer (outbound case) or a non-resident tax payer (inbound case). In this context the unlimited or restricted tax liability will be discussed and the resulting consequences covered.
The participants acquire fundamental knowledge with regard to the various methods of avoiding and mitigating double taxation and apply these to concrete cases.
Within the framework of so-called outbound cases a distinction is made between resident tax payers with relationships to non-double taxation agreement countries and those with relationships to double taxation agreement countries. In the first case, the most important types of foreign income and the unilateral measures for the avoidance of double taxation connected with them are discussed. In the second case, the students acquire extensive knowledge about the workings and structure of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement and understand the bilateral measures for the avoidance of double taxation behind it. This theoretical knowledge will be applied to a large number of practical cases.
With regard to the so-called inbound cases the participants will learn about the taxation of persons subject to limited taxation in Germany. The course ends with a brief introduction into the Foreign Tax Act.
Financial analysis:
• The students can explain and discuss the goals and course of the annual account analysis. In doing so, they can derive the difficulties of the analysis from observing the annual account politics.
• The participants are made familiar with central aspects within the framework of the analysis of the profit, financial and liquidity situation. The analyses will be seen predominantly from the investor‘s perspective who is debating a company takeover or participation in a company.
• In order to understand a company’s profitability, the students will learn about the central analyses within the framework of the profit and loss statement. In addition, they will learn about the importance of profitability figures and profit adjustments.
• The analysis of the financial standing targets fundamental assets and liabilities. In addition participants become familiar with the terms “working capital” and “net financial liabilities” and understand their relevancy within the framework of determining the purchase price for a company takeover. They will also learn about the important key figures of the assets, liabilities and shareholder’s equity.
• The students will become familiar with cash flow calculation in the analysis of the liquidity situation. Based on this, they will learn about the main cash flow drivers and investment analyses. Finally, they will learn about the most important key figures when evaluating a company’s liquidity.
• The students can apply their theoretical knowledge to a range of practice-related exercises.
