This 30-credit Diplome d'etudes superieures specialisees (DESS) develops specialized expertise in taxation, covering the Canadian Income Tax Act and Quebec's Tax Act in depth, alongside foundational coverage of consumption taxes, international taxation, and fiscal administration. Coursework emphasizes the ethical dimensions of tax planning and opinion writing, with attention to legislation, jurisprudence, and legislative intent. Graduates are able to draft tax opinions on a range of Canadian transactions and propose tax-planning strategies while evaluating the associated risks. The program is delivered in person on the Montreal campus, with some courses offering an online option, and admission is continuous across the summer, fall, and winter terms provided a cohort of at least 20 candidates is reached. It suits accounting, finance, law, and related-discipline graduates seeking specialized post-degree training in Canadian tax practice.
