Has anyone posting here sat the tax exams?
I am thinking of doing them but due to my geographical location I would have to take the homestudy option. I have already finished my ACCA finals by homestudy and am familiar with that approach.
I am wondering how difficult are the tax exams? Are they on a par with the accountancy finals or even more difficult. I am exempt from part one due the the ACCA qualification.
Time is running out for registration......tick, tock, tick, tock

Bonafide - have not sat the ACCA but work with a lot of them ! tax exams should not be toooo much of a push, especially if you work in the area and have practical experience to bring to the table

... part 3 is the killer (like the counterpart for ACCA) - it's the final assessment and there is always something interesting thrown up

as to which is harder .... i'd find a comfortable seat on the fence on that one - but as you already have the ACCA, that gives you a really good start on the IATI as well
... best of luck
 
Thanks Doogo. I work as an accountant in a large company which requires a lot of tax planning. There is a role developing in the company for a tax position and I have been asked if I would consider doing the exams.

The role is still mainly as an accountant but I would be the hub of all tax advice. I would not necessarily have to dispense advice, but rather as a liason with our tax consultants and a centre/library for all past tax advice.

I finished the ACCA exams a few years ago. Not sure if I have the stomach for more exams....
 
go for it ... as the saying goes , what doesn't kill you can only make you stronger !
