Objectives for a minor in business law and taxation

The study of business law and taxation provides students with an analytical study of legal and taxation issues affecting commerce. The taxation subjects can provide the basis for a career as a taxation adviser. These subjects provide the conceptual skills for analysis of legal and taxation issues affecting business problem solving and decision making.

Business law and taxation subjects from other campuses may be available if they do not overlap with an existing Clayton subject, eg BTG3240 (Administrative law) or BTG3641 (Information law). These subjects are available by distance education.
BTC2110 (Business law) is a foundation subject emphasising the legal framework of business. It is a prerequisite for BTC2210 or BTC2213, which emphasise the legal operation of a company and BTC3200 (Finance law). There is no prerequisite for BTC3150 or BTC3153 (Income tax law).
It is highly recommended that students majoring in marketing take BTC3300 (Marketing law) to avoid possible unintended searches of the Trade Practices Act.
