Master in Law and Tax Engineering

The Tax Unit (La Cellule Fiscale)

The Tax Unit of the Faculty of Law of the Université Catholique de Lille is an initiative organised each year by students on the Master in Law and Tax Engineering programme. Its aim is simple: to offer free assistance to individual taxpayers, helping them to better understand their tax returns and answering their questions. Under the supervision of their teachers, the students use their knowledge to help the public whilst gaining practical experience in real-life situations.

For this 2026 edition, they once again stepped up during the tax return filing period to assist taxpayers with their tax affairs. Whether the issues concerned income, deductible expenses or specific circumstances, they provided tailored and accessible advice, under the supervision of tax law specialists.

As well as providing support to users, the Tax Unit offers students a valuable learning experience. It enables them to develop their advisory skills, refine their technical knowledge and gain confidence in dealing with real-world situations. This initiative illustrates the close link between the teaching provided by the Faculty and the realities of the workplace.
