You may already be working in financial administration. You wish to complement your extensive experience with theoretical know-how and advance your professional career. Even you do not have any professional experience yet, you are strongly interested in government, law and economy, especially in accounting, finance and taxation. You are intrigued by numbers, especially in commercial applications such as bookkeeping and accounting. You would like to learn more about the taxation principles these are based on and the options for their interpretation. You enjoy working in a team or in a consulting capacity and have excellent social skills . You also see the degree program as a way to build a network of strong professional contacts.
You will build a sustainable network from day one of your studies.
We invite you to join us in linking topics and thinking in a completely new way.
Decision-makers and experts in their field will teach you at our university.

In the event that some documents (e.g. references) are not available at the time you apply, you may submit these later via email, mail or in person by no later than the start of the admission process.
The admission procedure consists of a written test and an interview with the admission committee.
Our curriculum is also based on close cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Finance. The degree program was developed together with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Academy of tax advisors and auditors. The content reflects theoretical know-how and practical experience in the business consulting professions. Numerous experts from the Federal Government and others from chambers and companies lecture in the degree programs. In the second semester you will complete a 9-week internship and will have the opportunity to benefit from the experience gained at a position offered by the Federal Ministry of Finance in one of its tax offices. Apart from internships and study trips, you will also have the opportunity to exchange expertise with lecturers and student colleagues in financial administrations, certified public accountant chambers and accounting departments of large companies and to establish a strong personal network for your future career. Practical relevance is also guaranteed at our Campus Lecture evenings, which are open to all and feature contributions from prominent experts.
Tax Management is the first degree program to offer an academic education specializing in tax law on a national, European and international level, globally comparable to other studies in terms of the Bologna process. The special feature of this degree program, compared to university studies such as law or economy, is that it is interdisciplinary, practice-oriented and tailored to suit. You may complete the study program part-time, in the minimum period. Cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Finance furthermore ensures a practice-oriented and cutting-edge syllabus.
The graduate may follow one of two equivalent career paths: in public financial administration on the one hand and in tax and business consulting or accounting for large companies on the other. You will also benefit from our cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Finance should you opt for a private company career. For the more you know about the fiscal authority, the better your advice to taxable clients.
In the degree program you will acquire professional and scientific skills in the areas of tax and law, business and auditing and also personality and interaction.

National and International Tax Law, conflict and negotiation techniques

Case solutions, discussion, moot court, fictitious conflict and negotiation situations
The course is held as a seminar. Students work on case studies from the areas of Corporate Tax Law, Group Tax Law and International Tax Law. Students design a presentation and take on the role of an affected party (e.g. taxpayer, tax administration). On the basis of practical case studies, accounting standards of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) are discussed and selected issues of Income and VAT Law, Transaction Taxes and other tax regulations (taking into account the Case Law of the Federal Fiscal Court (BFG), Administrative Court (VwGH) and European Court of Justice (ECJ)) are discussed. In the discussion, students also apply negotiation and problem-solving techniques to assert their position.
