Calling Tax Pathway Students!

Have you passed stages 1 to 3 on your Tax Pathway journey? Eligibility to join ATT is a milestone in your career in tax – not just a stepping-stone to becoming a chartered tax adviser.

Are you one of over 3,500 students on the Tax Pathway route to qualify for membership of the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT)? You already know that this route is a fast-track way of gaining both qualifications and giving your career in the tax profession some rocket fuelled propulsion. However, you may not have paused to consider celebrating and marking the milestone of having passed stages 1 to 3 and applying for membership of the ATT.

I hope you are one of the 1,700 strong number of students who have reached this milestone, because this article is principally for you!

You are now eligible to apply to join the ATT, and once accepted as a member, you can use the designatory letters ‘ATT’ after your name, gain the extra recognition at work that this qualification brings and start to enjoy the benefits of being an ATT member. See tinyurl.com/3ufkmx6t for more details.

But don’t take my word for it...

‘Passing my ATT qualification and joining ATT, as part of my Tax Pathway journey, gives partners of the firm greater confidence in the services I provide as a member of our tax department.’

‘I qualified as an ATT member in January 2022 after completing stages 1 to 3 on the Tax Pathway. The qualification has allowed me to develop my skills professionally, whilst also allowing me to go on and complete my CTA qualification as part of the Tax Pathway.’

Alexander Philpott ATT CTA, Tax Assistant Manager, M&A Partners LLP

‘After embarking on the ATT/CIOT pathway, I could not pass up the opportunity to join the ATT once I was eligible. For me, joining was not just about the qualification but also the opportunity to be part of a community that supports my growth as a tax professional and enables me to meet, through the branch network, those that I can share ideas and experiences with. That said, the qualification certainly enables me to demonstrate my tax knowledge and commitment to professional standards to both my internal and external stakeholders which inspires confidence in both.’

Tom Wallace TEP ATT, Director of Tax Investigations, WTT Group

‘Becoming a member of ATT after completing the first three stages of the Tax Pathway route will demonstrate the pride you feel in your achievement to date, as well as your knowledge and professionalism. The ATT is a well-recognised professional body and members are highly regarded by both employers and the public, your likely clients. I strongly recommend you join ATT as soon as you can.’

John Kimmer FTII ATT (Fellow), Past President of the ATT
