Congratulations to new Fellows of the CIOT

Becoming a Fellow of the CIOT is based on skills, knowledge, expertise and merit, assessed by the CIOT Education Committee. Candidates for Fellowship have proved their technical competence in taxation through their ‘Body of Work’ or their dissertation, as well as their contribution to the profession over several years. They may also have successfully passed the CTA examination. We are proud to highlight them and their ‘Body of Work’ subjects.

Some of the CIOT Fellows have shared their experience and thoughts on achieving the accolade of becoming a Fellow of the Institute.

Grahame Jackson, Partner at Hassans International Law Firm, stated:

‘Becoming a fellow through the direct route has been very important to me. It would have been very difficult for me to follow the traditional CTA route (I also hold the ADIT) as I am based in Gibraltar. Getting Fellowship felt like a real acknowledgement of all the hard work that has gone into publishing books and articles over the years. Professionally, I feel a step up in the respect that is afforded to me by for professionals. Fellow status of the CIOT is rare, and becoming one is the greatest achievement in my career to date.’

Harriet Brown, Barrister and Jersey Advocate at Old Square Tax Chambers:

‘I enjoyed going through the Fellowship “Body of Work” route: it allowed me to revisit my previous work and helped to give focus to the professional writing that I do beyond my day job. It feels hugely important to me in terms of professional development because it highlights my experience and expertise to those within and outside the profession.’

David Currie, Global Head of Indirect Tax at BlackRock, also shared his views:

‘I completed my CTA Fellowship in parallel with an MSc Research (Taxation) postgraduate degree at the University of Birmingham. It was a significant time commitment, but I found the research experience thoroughly enjoyable and hugely valuable in both broadening and deepening my knowledge.’
