    Does anyone think it would be worthwhile or even possible to do the tax exams while working in an insurance co.?
    I have done two years of ICAI, and left because I hated the co. I worked for. Couldn't get any to take me on the finish my contract so I am now working in insurance and I love it.
    I was quite good at tax and would hate to lose it.
    Am I realistic in thinking I could do the tax exams and forget about qualifying as an accountant....

    As far as i know you must be qualified to get certain exemptions but you can do tax exams without having done accountancy. it just means it takes longer but not sure if insurance job is gonna qualify you for nessessary experience.

    To become a member of the Irish Tax Institute, you do not need any tax experience nor a training contract in a tax department. You only need to pass the exams...albeit not so easy. Theres 3 sets/parts of exams...qualified accountants may get exemptions from the first part or pending a masters or undergrad you might be exempt from certain modules of the first part.

    Failing that, youl need to sit all 3 parts (4 exams each).

    As above theres a sticky in this in the tax forum
