The International Institute for Tax and Finance Ltd (I/I/T/F) has been operating since 2005 and has grown from a specialised provider of short courses to a global leader in comprehensive postgraduate tax law qualifications.
The International Institute for Tax and Finance (I/I/T/F) is established. Its initial educational offerings are seminars and webinars.
The I/I/T/F partnered with Thomas Jefferson School (TJSL) of Law in San Diego as its validation partner. This marked its entry into full postgraduate programmes, beginning with the Postgraduate Diploma in Tax Procedural Law.
I/I/T/F developed the Postgraduate Diploma in Transfer Pricing, the first postgraduate qualification in transfer pricing at the time. The programme is validated by TJSL.
I/I/T/F expanded into jurisdiction-specific programmes by entering the South African market with the first online Higher Diploma in Taxation. It was the first time the ‘HDip’ was offered in South Africa by an international educational institution.
I/I/T/F expanded its global reach by launching the first online Postgraduate Diploma in International Taxation that is not tied to any single jurisdiction – a truly global PG-Dip in International Tax.
I/I/T/F signed a marketing agreement with InformaConnect Ltd to promote postgraduate programmes in taxation.
In 2015 we mark the 10th anniversary of I/I/T/F. This year, I/I/T/F delivers 6 postgraduate programmes validated by TJSL.
I/I/T/F extended its partnership with InformaConnect and, in doing so, established a new programme validation arrangement with Middlesex University, London.
I/I/T/F established a new division, the Academy of Tax Law (A/T/L), as the focal point for all international taxation programmes and courses.
A/T/L extended its postgraduate programmes to deliver MSc (Master) programmes, also validated by Middlesex University, London.
A/T/L entered into a partnership with IFF to offer shorter Postgraduate Certificate courses, validated by Middlesex University, London.
In 2025 we mark the 20th anniversary of I/I/T/F and A/T/L. This year, A/T/L delivers 13 postgraduate programmes validated by Middlesex University, along with 7 additional short courses.
