On 21 January 2026, the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Association of Taxation Technicians announced the results from its examinations taken at the November 2025 exam session.

910 CTA candidates sat exams with a further 313 candidates on the ACA CTA Joint Programme (with ICAEW) and 26 candidates sat a paper on the CA CTA Joint Programme (with ICAS). 764 ATT candidates sat exams in November 2025 and 1,165 Tax Pathway candidates sat a combination of ATT and CTA papers.

The Institute President, Nichola Ross Martin, commenting on the results said: ‘I would like to offer my warmest congratulations to those candidates who have passed all of the necessary exams for CIOT membership, as well as those who have made progress towards becoming a Chartered Tax Adviser after passing one or more papers at the November 2025 examination session.

‘They should be really proud of their hard work, dedication and effort. The exams set a high standard and successful candidates can be proud of their achievements.

‘343 candidates have now successfully completed all of the CTA examinations and we very much look forward to welcoming them as members of the Institute in the near future. Included in this figure are 66 candidates who were on the ACA CTA Joint Programme, one candidate who was on the CA CTA Joint Programme and 119 candidates who have now fully completed the ATT CTA Tax Pathway by passing the CTA element.

‘I very much look forward to welcoming the new members into the Institute at the next Admissions Ceremony.’

The Association President, Graham Batty, commenting upon the results said: ‘I am delighted to congratulate all the successful candidates from the November sitting of our exams. In total, 764 ATT candidates and 562 ATT CTA Tax Pathway candidates sat 1,740 papers and 1,287 passes were achieved. 90 distinctions were awarded to candidates for outstanding performance.

‘Having taken professional exams myself, I have personal experience of the many hours of study and sacrifice of your social life required to sit these examinations. I commend all the candidates for putting in the long hours and effort necessary.

‘The ATT’s modular system means that candidates can study at their own pace, within the five-year registration period, whether they are working towards full membership or simply wishing to obtain one or more Certificates of Competency in their specialist area.

‘I look forward to meeting the candidates who take up membership at our next Admission Ceremony.’

Information regarding these results, including pass lists, can be found on the CIOT and ATT websites and on the Tax Adviser website.
