Are you interested in tax from both a legal and an economic perspective? Fiscal economics looks at how taxes affect prices, and at the impact of this on individual consumers, companies, and national and international economies. Giving you a great preparation for a career in tax consultancy - either for the authorities or for corporations - Fiscal Economics covers tax laws, strategic advice, accountancy, and tax management. This one-year programme allows you to choose one of two specialisations: International Tax Management and Fiscale Economie. While the former is taught entirely in English, the latter is taught partly in Dutch, as it covers the Netherlands-specific tax environment.
