LLM en Derecho Tributario Internacional y Europeo

Are you an analytical thinker? Are you interested in tax law, business, finance, and politics? And can you see yourself advising international companies or private individuals on international tax issues? Then why not study International and European Tax Law? In addition to corporate taxation and international tax planning, you’ll study a broad range of related economic, legal, and social topics. The program is taught entirely in English, but if you’re a Dutch student, you can take an advanced Dutch course in corporation tax that will allow you to meet the membership requirements for the Dutch Order of Tax Advisors. The demand for tax law specialists outnumbers the supply, so upon graduation, you'll find yourself in an excellent position. Almost all of our students find jobs as legal or financial consultants soon after they have graduated.

Why this program?

Which country has got the most advantageous taxation scheme in a specific situation? And what are the consequences of new tax laws on specific companies? Those are just some examples of the questions you’ll be confronted with as a tax specialist. Tax Law is a constantly changing field of law that will stretch your intellectual abilities.
