Treasury & Budgeting
Taxation and Treasury Policies
This five-day programme connects how transactions are taxed with how the resulting cash is managed. Participants build skills in corporate tax treatment, tax cash cycle planning, treasury policy design for cash and funding, and FX and treasury risk policy with combined governance.
Introduction
Taxation and Treasury Policies Training Course connects two areas of finance that meet in the same decisions: how transactions are taxed and how the resulting cash is managed. Participants work through corporate tax fundamentals, VAT and withholding treatment, tax payment cycles, treasury policy design, cash and funding management, and FX handling as one connected framework. The programme links the tax liability a transaction creates with the cash timing and policy controls that govern it. As a result, learners gain a practical view of where tax and treasury interact. Furthermore, the course strengthens compliance judgement, cash planning discipline, and the governance that keeps both areas defensible.
