Course content

The ATT qualification gives you the knowledge and practical skills to work in tax compliance. After qualifying, you can progress onto CTA and become a chartered tax advisor.

The ATT syllabus follows a modular structure, which consists of two core certificate papers and four optional certificate papers, allowing you to specialise in your own area of interest or expertise.

To apply for full ATT membership, you must pass the two core papers, one of the four optional papers and the two computer-based exams (Law and Professional Responsibilities & Ethics), plus have two years of practical work experience in UK taxation. From 2019 you’ll also need to sit an Accounting CBE, if you’ve not passed the existing ATT P2 BTAP paper by November 2018 (or hold an accounting qualification).
