QUT Business Capabilities (Undergraduate)
The content and assessment in this unit are aligned to a selection of the following set of QUT Business Capabilities, also known as Assurance of Learning Goals (AoLs). Developing these capabilities will assist you to meet the desired graduate outcomes set at QUT and equip you with the knowledge and skills to succeed in your chosen career.

Learning Approaches
Teaching and learning strategies are designed to facilitate the aims and learning outcomes of the unit. The emphasis in Taxation Law is to equip students with the necessary skills so as to research and solve tax-related problems.
Lectures:
Students are expected to review the lecture notes and listen to the lecture recordings each week. Detailed lecture notes are provided to students on the AYB203 Canvas site for students to download. These lecture notes provide all students with their starting point to study this subject. Students are expected to also read the relevant paragraphs identified each week in the prescribed textbook, being Australian Taxation 1st edition as well as all relevant section references in the tax legislation, and relevant taxation rulings and taxation determinations.
Should students need additional reading material, a list is provided under the Resource Materials section in this document. Please note that research and further reading will be required to complete the group assignment.
Tutorials:
Students are expected to review and attempt the tutorial questions each week. Tutorials provide students with an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of key issues and concepts learnt in the preceding week. Each week students will need to complete the required readings and to draft their answers to the tutorial questions.
Students are encouraged to ask questions in tutorials even if an issue is unclear to you, or whether you have a different point of view or understanding. Even though we have set tutorial questions each week, the tutorial is also your forum to ensure that you have the correct understanding of the subject matter and you are encouraged to maximise this opportunity.
To encourage attendance and participation in the face-to-face and online tutorials, detailed tutorial solutions will not be posted on the AYB203 Canvas site, nor made available to students at the end of the semester.
In this unit, students learn by 'doing'. You will get the most out of the tutorial questions if you attempt them yourself before attending your allocated tutorial. The only way to receive feedback about the tutorial questions and have your questions answered will be to attend tutorials each week.
However, each week we will post the tutorial recordings on the AYB203 Canvas site. This will allow students to understand the solutions to the tutorial questions and be able to listen to the explanation slowly at their own pace (and have the ability to pause, rewind or fast-forward sections of the recording. These tutorial recordings will be made available to all students on the Canvas site after the conclusion of the final tutorial each week.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Students will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
- Informal: worked examples, such as verbal feedback in class, personal consultation
- Formal: in writing, such as checklists (e.g. criteria sheets), written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class
Assessment

Tutorials:
Students are expected to review and attempt the tutorial questions each week. Tutorials provide students with an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of key issues and concepts learnt in the preceding week. Each week students will need to complete the required readings and to draft their answers to the tutorial questions.
Students are encouraged to ask questions in tutorials even if an issue is unclear to you, or whether you have a different point of view or understanding. Even though we have set tutorial questions each week, the tutorial is also your forum to ensure that you have the correct understanding of the subject matter and you are encouraged to maximise this opportunity.
To encourage attendance and participation in the face-to-face and online tutorials, detailed tutorial solutions will not be posted on the AYB203 Canvas site, nor made available to students at the end of the semester.
In this unit, students learn by 'doing'. You will get the most out of the tutorial questions if you attempt them yourself before attending your allocated tutorial. The only way to receive feedback about the tutorial questions and have your questions answered will be to attend tutorials each week.
However, each week we will post the tutorial recordings on the AYB203 Canvas site. This will allow students to understand the solutions to the tutorial questions and be able to listen to the explanation slowly at their own pace (and have the ability to pause, rewind or fast-forward sections of the recording. These tutorial recordings will be made available to all students on the Canvas site after the conclusion of the final tutorial each week.
Feedback on Learning and Assessment
Students will receive feedback in various forms throughout the semester which may include:
- Informal: worked examples, such as verbal feedback in class, personal consultation
- Formal: in writing, such as checklists (e.g. criteria sheets), written commentary
- Direct: to individual students, either in written form or in consultation
- Indirect: to the whole class

The Academic Integrity Policy sets out the range of conduct that can be a failure to maintain the standards of academic integrity. This includes, cheating in exams, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion and contract cheating. It also includes providing fraudulent or altered documentation in support of an academic concession application, for example an assignment extension or a deferred exam.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
