CEO's welcome: Active engagement
Share this article
One theme that resonates with all our members is the pace of change in tax legislation and the need for practical, workable guidance for those advising clients on the front line. Since Legislation Day (L-Day) on 21 July, both the CIOT and ATT have been actively reviewing and responding to a significant volume of draft legislation issued by HMRC and HM Treasury.
The CIOT has redesigned the CTA Joint Programmes to align with the proposed CTA qualification updates and the ICAS and ICAEW qualification changes. The evolved study routes better support the learning and development in taxation and mark a significant evolution in our professional training to align with the latest in tax and accountancy education, including the development of skills for employers.

We’re excited to announce the ATT Fellows’ event on 8 October, featuring a webinar with networking opportunities and expert-led breakout sessions. Steven Pinhey will deliver a keynote on tax agent registration and HMRC compliance, followed by discussions on tax technology, inheritance tax reforms and employment expenses. Invitations and registration details will be shared soon. Members with ten years of ATT membership can apply for Fellowship, which offers exclusive webinars, newsletters and opportunities for direct technical engagement.
In December, ATT and AAT will present the Sharpen Your Tax Skills webinar series, led by Barry Jefferd and the ATT technical team, providing practical updates on recent tax changes. Registration details will follow in upcoming newsletters.
Closing on the topic of learning and development, the CIOT is finalising a new, standalone Pillar Two Award which will be launched later this year, developed in response to the post-BEPS environment and a spin-off from our popular ADIT international tax programme.
