International Tax Law

International Tax Law

Key benefits

  • The programme is designed for both policy oriented professionals and practising tax advisers who want to engage with international tax at the highest level, whether in government, international organisations or private practice. Graduates from relevant disciplines beyond law, with appropriate professional experience in law or accounting firms, in house tax departments or tax administrations, are also welcome.
  • The pathway is led by international tax law specialists with substantial experience in private practice, advising governments, tax administrations and international organisations on tax policy design, anti avoidance rules and global tax frameworks. Their involvement in high level policy processes and complex cross border advisory and litigation work ensures that teaching is grounded in current practice and real world challenges.
  • Through this pathway, you will develop critical awareness and insights on the taxation of cross border situations that concern internationally mobile individuals and multinational enterprises. You will study how citizens, businesses and governments manage the challenges of taxation in the international context, with a focus on tax treaty design, anti avoidance legislation and emerging global standards shaping the future of international tax law.
  • Close engagement with international tax practitioners and policymakers – through seminars, guest lectures and collaborative events – will allow you to explore issues that are central to both policy work and advisory practice, and to build networks across the international tax community.
  • You will be encouraged to cultivate the creativity, intellectual rigour and technical skills that are highly prized by professional firms, government departments and international organisations, preparing you for careers in private practice, public sector policy design and international tax consultancy, as well as further academic work in international tax law and policy.

To follow the International Tax Law pathway, you must first apply for the General LLM at King's. After enrolment you will select your pathway modules.
