This specialisation prepares graduates to become leaders in their respective areas of tax expertise – be that in a private law practice or accounting firm, in government administration, in the judicial system, or in academia. Moreover, as the abilities to cope with ever-changing legislation and to successfully recognize issues arising in new taxing jurisdictions are vital in the field of tax law, the specialisation is designed to allow successful students to master the general principles of tax law and thereafter easily and efficiently work with new or unfamiliar legal rules.

Students gain first-hand exposure to real tax issues and the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, as they work on several case studies under the supervision of local tax law firms and participate in research projects organised by the ATOZ Chair for European and International Taxation.

The specialisation puts a particular emphasis on the interaction of tax treaty law with domestic tax law, as well as the effects of primary and secondary EU law on domestic tax rules. During their studies, the students will work on several case studies under the supervision of local tax law firms. They will learn how to make use of the extensive Luxembourg tax treaty network and gain a first-hand understanding of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice located here in uxembourg.
