Suggested Routes
There are many combinations of papers and routes that you can take as part of the Tax Pathway. The key is to identify which areas of taxation you are both interested in and keen to understand further, as well as which would most benefit your career in taxation.
- General Practice
- Corporate Taxes
- Human Capital Taxes
- Indirect Taxes
There is an important decision to be made at Core Knowledge Acquisition (2) between taking a third ATT paper and CTA Awareness. The step up from an ATT to a CTA paper is a significant one that many students historically struggle with. Taking CTA Awareness at this point will be demanding, as it will require you to attempt a CTA paper earlier on in your studies than would have previously been the case.
Choosing a third ATT paper instead may seem a more straightforward option, as it also exempts students from CTA Awareness.
Whichever route you choose, we will ensure that you have all the necessary syllabus knowledge and are fully prepared for each examination.
