Program overview
Taxation may sound a bit serious, but it's actually very practical. Simply put, it studies how the government collects taxes, how businesses can legally pay less tax, and how individuals file taxes. Core courses include Chinese Tax Law, International Taxation, Tax Accounting, Tax Planning, Public Finance, and more. You'll learn how to calculate VAT and corporate income tax, help companies with tax planning, and even handle cross-border tax issues. Chinese universities take a very hands-on approach to this major—many have tax labs that simulate real tax filing systems and invite professionals from tax bureaus or the Big Four accounting firms to give lectures. It's suitable for students who are good with numbers, enjoy logical analysis, and want to learn practical skills. If you're interested in economics, law, and finance, this major lets you combine all three.
