    I'm sure this question has been asked 569 times, but if somebody has a BA Hons Degree in Accounting from DCU (thus CAP1 exempt) and completed all of CAP2 modules with the CAI and you move across to ACCA does that mean you are exempt from sitting all F exams and you can move straight into the P exams?

    Currently having back and forth with ACCA over the Taxation module where the person that we are dealing with in the ACCA is saying that CAP1 and CAP2's are insufficient for exemption from the ACCA Taxation exams. Surely that cannot be correct?

    I swapped over during CAP2s. I hadn't passed FR or Tax and needed to do F6 and F7.

    Doing P6 now and there's a few extra bits that I haven't done in CAP2.

    In the F6 module we covered CGT, VAT, CT and IT.

    The ACCA exemption calculator shows Tax I & Tax II (CAP 1 & 2) needed to get the exemption from the F taxation paper. Since you've completed Tax at CAP 2 level I'd be asking why they're telling you something different to their own website.

    Interestingly, got back to ACCA and they say that CAP2 is insufficient as it is Taxation II (ROI) and not NI. Why that matters I don’t know, certainly doesn’t sound right to me.

    Tell them your planning on sitting the Irish Variant of F6. Maybe they've their wires crossed and think you'll be doing the UK tax exam with them?
