It can also help you fulfil the eligibility requirements to take the exams of the Chartered Institute of Taxation to become a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA). The LLM Tax graduates just have to sit the Final CTA exam. The LLM options – EU Tax Law, International Tax Law and the LLM dissertation – may also be used to prepare for the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT). The EU Tax Law and International Tax Law courses prepare students for the appropriate ADIT papers and the LLM dissertation can be used to fulfil the requirements of an ADIT international/EU tax dissertation.

The title of his thesis was “The Compatibility of the Belgian Deduction for Risk Capital Regime with EU Law”.
