1 INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
Dear Student
Welcome as a student to the module, PRINCIPLES OF TAXATION. We hope that you will find
your studies interesting and rewarding and that you will be successful in the examination.
This tutorial letter contains important information regarding this module, as well as the assignment
one and two for the first and the second semester.
Because this is a practical module, you will have to learn certain rules and the way in which they
are applied. It means that you will have to start with your studies immediately, as the semester
has 15 weeks only. You will need to give yourself ample time to practise what you have learnt.
We have recorded a podcast especially for you to welcome you to the module and to assist you
with your approach to this module. You may access it on myUnisa, under additional resources.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes for success in your studies.
