About Us
The International Academy of Tax Law (A/T/L) is the tax education division of I/I/T/F.
A/T/L started in 2005 as a niche, short course training institution; however, in 2008 took the move to offer full postgraduate qualifications focussing primarily on various aspects of tax law.
Tax Law is an ever-changing landscape with legislators constantly trying to plug the so-called “tax gap“. These changes make tax law (globally) more complex, creating a dynamic and complex arena for organisations to function. For this reason, A/T/L has a somewhat different approach to “traditional” universities when teaching tax law. The A/T/L academic faculty consists of practising tax experts who draw on their extensive knowledge in dealing with very complex matters to deliver courses that are not only of the highest academic quality but are up-to-the-minute current with any new developments.
The members of the faculty practice tax law in many jurisdictions around the world, making them ideal candidates to lecture on A/T/L courses.
A/T/L offers various courses in tax law, including International Taxation, Transfer Pricing and other specialised tax law subjects. The qualifications range from practical certificate courses, postgraduate certificates and diplomas to Masters (MSc) programmes.
A/T/L has partnered with industry and educational leaders to deliver these market-leading courses.

The ‘Triad’
A/T/L’s most important partnership is a “triad” between A/T/L, Informa Connect Ltd and Middlesex University.
Informa Connect Ltd and A/T/L have had a course distribution and administration partnership for nearly a decade. Informa provides the marketing and sales support, while A/T/L develops and delivers the various courses.
Informa Connect Ltd and Middlesex University (MDX) have a long-standing partnership. In 2017, A/T/L, through Informa Connect Ltd, started validating its courses through MDX. As of 2022, A/T/L have nine courses validated by MDX.
Simply put, Informa provides the marketing and sales support, A/T/L delivers the courses, and MDX provides the U.K. accredited qualifications to successful students.
The partnership is confirmed on the MDX website.
All the tax law courses on this list are provided through this partnership.
