This unit is designed for students to gain a practical working knowledge of Australian taxation laws, and to develop skills in the interpretation and application of taxation legislation. The focus of the unit is on an understanding of income tax and this necessitates an understanding of capital gains tax and a brief introduction to Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax. The integration of legislation, case law and tax rulings provides a strong foundation for understanding and application. As this unit is a compulsory unit in the accounting major, its emphasis is on the application of taxation to different business entities and individuals.
