International Tax Forum

[Scalia J. Dissenting]

What's the consensus on International Tax? I've taken Income Tax and enjoyed it. Haven't taken Corporate Tax or Partnership Tax. Should I take those before I take International?

It might depend on your professor, but International Tax at my school required no knowledge of Corporate Tax. The only area it really came up was inversions, but the professor provided all the background anyone needed to know. Again maybe school dependent, but easier subject matter than Corporate Tax in my experience.

Also, as an aside, it was the course most centered on tax avoidance that I've taken so far. Which was fun.

Cool. I had the class today. Prof was pretty cool, and it's a small class (~6 as of now), so that might help.

As to supplements, what do you recommend? I plan on checking out the Nutshell (Doernberg) and Concepts and Insights (Isenbergh).

[MCFC]

We actually used the Isenbergh book as our textbook, and I didn't really use anything beyond that.

Nutshell is excellent IMO, espicially if you are using the Gustafofson textbook. So good I even use it in my current job post law school.

As an aside there a lot of articles from Deloitte/PwC/EY/KPMG that explain these basic international tax subjects. Can be helpful.

its interesting from a policy perspective, probably moreso than any of the other tax courses. and its very niche so you can show off easily. but i don't remember shit so i don't know if it was useful. what's the difference between outbound and inbound?
