Responding to the impact technology is having on the tax professional the Chartered Institute of Taxation is launching a Diploma in Tax Technology.
Incoming CIOT President, Susan Ball explained the new diploma qualification is aimed at both existing tax professionals who wish to enhance their awareness of tax technology, and at those outside the profession who might wish to work in this area. “We aim to launch this new qualification by the end of the year,” she said.
Ball stressed that technology will change the work of tax advisers, and they will
increasingly have to think not just about how they provide their services but how technology will change how members work and what kind of tax system they are advising on.
