Master of Taxation


Masters of Taxation, Master of Business Taxation, or Master of Science in Taxation is a higher degree in taxation given by universities. MTax programs prepare graduates for executive careers in the accounting profession with a focus on taxation, where effective decisions require a detailed understanding of tax consequences. Sample curriculum could include: income tax, corporate tax, tax planning, inheritance tax, international tax, or tax policy. Extensive prerequisites are common to be admitted to the program, such as an accounting degree or having the CPA designation. For programs not requiring accounting degrees, common requirements include calculus and undergraduate classes in economics, economic statistics, accounting, and finance. Most programs require 12 to 18 months to complete, but a part-time or flexible schedule may allow a longer completion interval.
MTax graduates often obtain job titles such as: tax examiner, financial manager, auditor, tax advisor, or tax manager.
