【Course Objectives】

The objective of this course is the systematic study of income tax and inheritance tax which are imposed on individuals. Students will understand an overview of the mechanisms of tax law. In particular, students will become able to have images in which how income is shifted. Students will understand the connection between laws and political discussions.

【Course Contents】

The class will generally follow the textbook and cover income tax and inheritance tax.
Studying tax law has significance for two major reasons. There is the practical aspect and the fairness aspect. First, students are expected to have learned legal forms in classes of Civil Law, Commercial Law and etc., and the tax burden can be increased or decreased depending on the selected legal form. From the standpoint of taxpayers, students have to learn how to not carry an excessive tax burden, and from the standpoint of the tax agency, students have to learn what taxpayers are thinking when they try to avoid taxation. This practical aspect is primarily concerned with interpretation and implementation.
Secondly, tax law also includes the philosophical inquiry how distributive fairness of tax burden is approached. Lawyers do not frequently state concrete value judgments about what is fair, but students should understand the matters under consideration in debating fairness when they are in charge of deciding policy in the future. The fairness aspect is primarily concerned with legislative and political discussion.
