The tutorial questions count 50{780f53c297e2c008074d23b865a0ce0b35a4f08852d8e1e49466a5a902c4e44e} towards the 100{780f53c297e2c008074d23b865a0ce0b35a4f08852d8e1e49466a5a902c4e44e} course marks/points. BEFORE each lecture on an international tax topic, there will be a series of questions you must answer and submit within the timeline specified – USUALLY THE DAY BEFORE THE PROPOSED LECTURE. You must have a copy of the answers available during the lecture, to mark your answers with pen (AND ALLOCATE MARKS), and then scan (with your smartphone) and send immediately after the lecture. All copies before and after the lecture to: lesia@iitf.net, gilfer@iitf.net, office@taxriskmanagement.comdaniel@taxriskmanagement.com, renier@rvr.me

YOU CANNOT CHANGE or amend your answers after the lecture to gain more points. If you do so, we can compare to the originals you sent before the lecture, and you will lose all points for that tutorial session.

The tutorials count 50{780f53c297e2c008074d23b865a0ce0b35a4f08852d8e1e49466a5a902c4e44e} towards year end of mark of 100{780f53c297e2c008074d23b865a0ce0b35a4f08852d8e1e49466a5a902c4e44e}. So the tutorial questions are very important.
