MBA in Taxation

Taxation - a dust-dry career for those who have not dealt with it in detail. For those who know their way around, a career path with many opportunities and numerous exciting fields of employment. If you are interested in an MBA in the field of taxation, you have come to the right place. We have compiled all information about the course, listed all courses and asked graduates for experience reports.

The principle of paying taxes has been around for thousands of years - but tax law today is far more complicated and multifaceted than it was when tax collection began. Nowadays taxation describes a combination of the areas of taxes and business and economics.

Accordingly, in order to become an expert in this area, extensive training is necessary. One of the highest qualifications offered by the (Executive) Master of Business Administration, which is primarily aimed at academics from the field of law and economics, and both tax consultants as well as for those who are professionally in a different way with taxes and finances have to do, represents an interesting further education.

In the taxation / taxation area, there is currently only a limited range of MBA courses. A classic MBA can be obtained from the University of Freiburg, which offers the "International Taxation" course. Another option is the "Executive Master of Business Administration" (EMBA) course in "Taxation" at the University of Münster.

While the Master of Business Administration is aimed primarily at academics who want to rise in management positions, the EMBA appeals to applicants who are already in managerial positions and who have extensive, several years of professional experience in management.

Kleiner Exkurs: In addition to the MBA and EMBA, the Taxation / Taxation division offers other degrees. Above all, this includes the so-called LL.M. (Master of Laws). This originally comes from the English-speaking world, but is now also gaining ground in Germany. LL.M. degree courses serve to deepen legal knowledge and accordingly focus on a specialized legal area (in this case, tax law). However, the degree can only be compared with the MBA to a limited extent; it has a much more theoretical focus and, in contrast to the MBA, deals with very specific content. In addition, the topics of business management and management play only a minor role, if at all. Accordingly, the degrees are aimed at different groups of people and also have different objectives.

In terms of content, the (E) MBA courses deal primarily with the various aspects of tax law. It not only examines the legal situation in Germany, but also in other European and non-European countries. The curriculum accordingly includes modules such as

• Introduction and system of tax law
• General taxation
• International tax law
• International tax planning
• Tax project management
• Bookkeeping and balance sheet analysis

Study forms and course

In order to be attractive for working people, the (E) MBA courses in the field of taxation / tax are offered as part-time studies. The "International Taxation" course combines face-to-face events with self-learning phases. The lessons take place here in one-week block phases; these take place a total of six times throughout the course.

The EMBA "Tax Studies" course at the University of Münster is organized in a similar way; however, the presence phases take place here mainly on weekends. The curriculum includes a one-week introductory course and 15 attendance weekends (from Thursday to Saturday each). Regardless of differences in the study organization, both courses have a duration of three semesters.

Requirements

The (E) MBA courses "International Taxation" and "Tax Sciences" are aimed at those who have already studied law and economics and have one to several years of experience in a relevant profession.

In order to take part in the MBA course "International Taxtation", a successfully passed tax consultant exam is also required. In individual cases, this can also be replaced by specific practical experience.

Costs

Anyone who enrolls for an MBA or EMBA course in the field of taxation / tax should be aware in advance that this is associated with relatively high costs.

Examples:

• University of Freiburg : 18,900 euros
• University of Münster : 12,600 euros

We certainly don't need to tell you that the MBA costs can be tax deductible...

Tips for alternatives:

There are a few alternatives to the tax MBA. Above all, if you do not want to train so "taxation-specific", a general management degree can be the better choice. All facets of business administration are dealt with here - the graduates are accordingly fit in many areas.

Otherwise there are of course other Masters of Business Administration, which are also related to finance. These include the areas of financial management, insurance / insurance or controlling / accounting.
