Course overview

Many finance professionals in the Gulf deal with UK holding companies, UK property, UK-domiciled owners, or are studying towards a UK professional qualification. This programme sets out the architecture of the UK tax system — income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax and VAT — with the residence and domicile rules that determine who is taxed on what. It is taught by trainers with UK practice experience and follows the structure used in UK professional syllabi.

UK academic certification pathway

Where a formal partnership agreement is in place, credit earned on this programme can be carried towards a UK academic award. IHM does not describe any certificate as awarded by a UK university unless a written agreement permits that description, and the awarding body is named on your enrolment agreement before you pay. How the pathway works.
