Learning unit contents
The course is a course of the Specialised Finality in Private Law of the Master in Law. The "private law" specialization has the specificity of considering the relations between individuals from different aspects. It groups together legal matters relating to patrimony and persons.
As regards assets, this course will analyse the tax treatment of a taxpayer's assets (movable and immovable) in the private sphere but also in the professional sphere (incorporation of a company or holding of shares in a company). As far as individuals are concerned, in the context of income taxes, these elements will have to be addressed: the impact of the status of spouse, cohabitant or single person on the IPP (joint taxation, recovery, exempted quotas, assisting spouses, conjugal quotient), the status of persons dependent on the taxpayer, etc.
The course will be designed around a situational approach. The different points of the material will be considered through events or anticipations of events (from a planning perspective) in the life of a hypothetical taxpayer.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The aim of the Master's programme is to train students in the practice of law. Students will be able to understand the impact of a management choice on the taxpayer's tax situation and how the income tax system takes into account the taxpayer's family situation. Students will also be able to develop a way of reasoning to solve basic technical questions.
