Changes to the CTA qualification

CTA: Changes to the CTA qualification
24 April 2025

A quick reminder! The CIOT is inviting feedback on proposed changes to the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) qualification.

The Institute is aiming to modernise the qualification so that it remains relevant to the market and fit for the future, while retaining its high academic quality and standards.

To facilitate this, we are conducting a 12-week consultation, open from 7 April to 30 June, and are seeking input from students, prospective students, members, employers and other stakeholders. The consultation outlines our proposals for the CTA qualification and introduces a Professional Skills and Competencies Framework, which defines the skills and competencies expected of a qualified Chartered Tax Adviser.

Full details of the proposed changes can be found in the article by Kelly Sizer on page 10. You can also read the consultation document and respond at: www.tax.org.uk/ctareview
