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.

During the CTA Awareness course you'll gain a broad understanding of a range of UK tax areas outside your chosen specialisms. You’ll develop the ability to identify potential tax issues across different contexts and understand when to refer or collaborate with other experts. This paper enhances your ability to provide well-rounded advice, ensuring you can take a holistic view of your clients’ circumstances and spot connections between different areas of tax law.
