CTA Awareness

Entry requirements

From 2019, students will no longer need to hold a prior qualification to register as a CTA student and sit the CTA exams, opening up the CTA qualification to anyone. However, the CIOT strongly recommend those without an accounting or law qualification register for the ATT - CTA tax pathway route to qualification. In addition the direct and indirect route to qualification will be merged, with all Advanced Technical papers available to all CTA students.

To join the ACA CTA joint programme, you’ll need to register as an ACA student first. When you get your ACA student number, you will be able to register with the CIOT.

Months of entry

Course content

The objective of the Awareness paper is to examine core areas of the various taxes which you may not deal with on a daily basis and which do not form part of your chosen Advanced Technical papers.
