Chartered Tax Consultant (CTC) is now open to applications from qualified members of ACCA and CIMA. In addition a new Diploma in Taxation will be offered for the first time in March 2015.

CTC is a yearlong professional tax consulting programme designed specifically for accountants. Its unique points are covering in-depth accounting for tax under local GAAP and IFRS, international tax and structures, as well as all you need to know about tax as an adviser in practice or operating in business. The course is taught MBA style in case-study groups of no more than 10 people, facilitated by a tax expert. Saturday only classes are supplemented by online tutorials, extensive home learning materials, and practical assignments which are all designed to fit around working life.

In addition a new Diploma in Taxation will be offered for the first time in March 2015 and is focused on the compliance and practical requirements of tax. Classes are on Saturdays only, over 7 weekends. This course is also available by distance and will be examined by 3 home assignments rather than an exam.

With more and more accountants realising the importance of specialisation and the benefits to expanding their skills portfolio, take some time to talk to the Specialist Qualifications team about our tax education programmes in 2015.
