Students celebrate their latest ADIT achievement!

The online exams in December saw 424 students successfully pass at least one exam, with 84 students passing their third module and thereby achieving the full ADIT qualification. A further six students, from Romania to India to Oman, have demonstrated their international tax research proficiency in the last six months by completing ADIT through the extended essay route.

Of the new ADIT holders, six were awarded a distinction for excellence in their exams.

CIOT President Nichola Ross Martin said: ‘Many congratulations to our newest ADIT graduates for their outstanding achievements in the latest examinations. At CIOT, we continue to be impressed by the knowledge, skill and commitment of our students across the world; their dedication to their ADIT studies alongside other commitments is truly inspiring. We look forward to welcoming as many students as possible at the ADIT Awards Ceremony later this year.

‘I am also pleased to commend the recipients of our six medals and prizes, sponsored by tax industry leaders, which highlight remarkable performances from students across each module in the most recent examinations.

‘We hope to continue seeing many ADIT students, graduates and International Tax Affiliates attending and participating in our exciting programme of events for 2026, whether online or in person. These events provide valuable opportunities for the ADIT community to come together to share knowledge and extend their professional networks.’

The ADIT qualification is now held by 2,464 tax practitioners, approximately 500 of whom have chosen to subscribe with the CIOT as International Tax Affiliates since achieving the qualification.
