Guidance (From Sadiq et al Taxation Law and Principles)
1. In producing a report to problem-type (case study) questions, first identify the tax law issue(s) that are raised by the facts.
2. If you are having problems identifying the tax issue(s) in problem-type questions, review your summaries of the law and look for key words in the facts.
3. In case-type questions, do not form your conclusion until you have explored and applied the law to the facts.
4. Prepare broad summaries of your notes, legislation and cases as preparation for the assessment.
5. Organise your notes and do not rely too heavily on the material you can take in; your summaries are your best support in the assessment.
6. In problem-type questions, remember to:
1. clearly understand the facts and the question;
2. state the tax issue(s) you have identified from the facts;
3. identify the relevant law, tax rulings, legislation and cases;
4. apply the law to the facts;
5. form your conclusion based on your discussion of the law and state additional information that may be needed to clarify your conclusion.

noting carefully the emphasis placed on different issues in classes and study material;
