There'd be some learning to do as its all legislation based but its not difficult to get into.

Does where you work do tax for clients? If so ask to be involved somehow and see what you think.

If you like it there are certainly jobs out there and there is an Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) qualification you can do which will give a good technical base, roughly on a par with AAT. Profession generally one of 3 specialisms - corporation tax, personal tax or indirect tax - although smaller firms or in-house departments may use generalists.

There is a further qualification you can do (might even be able to do this without doing ATT first as you've got AAT but I'm not sure) the chartered tax advisor (CTA) but it is hugely challenging in terms of time commitment and volume of material to get through. (I'm expecting my 'why did you even bother turning up you moron' letter through next week just to add the mouldy frosting to my stale cake:p ).

Alternatively you could look to see if HMRC are recruiting...

Thanks Luc - not working at the moment, contract ended on 31st December, but in both the roles I had over the last 5 1/2 years I 've always been involved in pulling together all the "tax" type paperwork / information for the tax consultants, which I know isn't the same as actually "doing" the job.
In AAT I opted for both business & personal tax papers (& really enjoyed them - need to get out more I know :rotfl: ), in ACCA I got the highest marks in the tax paper, compared to all my other papers.
I've been thinking for a while of stopping ACCA & taking ATT, with a view to going on to doing CTA if I could get through ATT.
Just need to make a decision & get on with it

A mixture of finance and being terrified of getting in a car :rolleyes: When I took my final test I said to my instructor that day if I dont pass I am done with driving. As if by a miricle I passed (with 2 minors) but I am still done with driving :rotfl:For now at least
