Doing a master in Tax

Not sure if this is better here or in the eduction section.

Was wondering about doing a master in tax. I was looking at like of the M.Acc in UCD or DIT but feel there are more leaned towards people that go on to do ACA. For someone that wants to study AITI want is the best masters to do. I see a few nice ones in london but not sure are they reconised over here in terms of excemptsions.

(sorry about the spelling)

Ummm, not being funny or anything, but why not just do the AITI if that's ultimately what you want to do??

always had it in my head to do a master and it makes you better able to get a job and also my degree aint as good as i hoped

To be honest scheister i cant see a masters making much difference when getting a tax job as it wont give you any extra benefits when studying the tax exams.

I have to agree with Legend, there is no point in getting a masters in tax if you wish to pursue your tax exams. If your degree is not that good in the first place you might not even get in to do a masters. If you wish to pursue a career in tax most people who qualify tend to have an accountancy qualification to go with the tax qualification.

Difference in starting salary between a masters and a degree

500 Euro- believe it.

Besides no one gives a crap about your college results- they look at your leaving cert and your AITI exams.

Masters is a waste of a year and 10 grand.

As for going to London? For Irish Tax? Forget it. I can say with certaintly it is the one area of law we have the least in common
