Hi,

Anyone sitting the Part 2 exams for the April 2022 sitting and working the professional skills assignment at the moment?

For the "tax-free payment" for the cosmetic scientist who will unlikely not return to work, Am i right in saying that we should be referring to s.192A -Exemption in respect of certain payments under employment law?

Thanks,

Hi, is anyone doing the Part 3 professional skills assignment due in 2 weeks?

Hi all,

Thinking of a enrolling for the Part 1s, if I PM'd someone my email could you kindly send me over a past paper so that I can get an idea of the exams? Would also love to see a Part 2 past paper too.

Cheers,

C

Does anybody have copies of the part 2 papers from 2017 and before?

Hi, I am thinking about the CTA Irish tax institute and need some advise. Firstly, I don't have a third level degree but work in civil service taxes so my supervisor's clearance should be enough to qualify for Course. I completed the tax technician with ITI last year and will this be a good base for this course? I got over 80% in all 4 modules.

Secondly, I am worried about the volume of material to be studied and time. Can anyone advise how much time per week should be spent studying. If I sign up for this course I may not be able for it and as I don't have a third level degree I am not familiar with amount of study time required. I am also working full time. I would like to do this course as it would be a personal achievement and would also help with promotion.

Any advise/support would be appreciated.

Are your employer going to grant study leave? If so how much?

Hi. Just wondering if there is anyone doing the Part 3 Professional Skills assignment due in December?

Darkhorse10 · 26-11-2022 12:45pm

Hi, @Hingisfan08! - Yes I am "attempting" to do the Part 3 Professional Skills assignment aswell.

Hi, I am looking into sitting the Part 2 exams this summer and am looking to get advice on the workload involved and if anyone has managed it with a small child and working full time? I work in the tax department of a large company and have a lot of practical experience, particularly in VAT and have previously done the ACCA exams.

if anyone has past exam papers they can share so I can take a look at them that would be great.

Hi, I am thinking of doing the Part 2 [I have exemptions for Part 1] in the ITI Autumn/Winter 2023 session.

Would anyone have completed Part 2 and have some paperwork/past exam papers/solutions that they would be willing to part with?

I am happy to pay.

TIA, OliveK

Just finished my exams with CIMA (pending results) and considering the CTA

I won't ask how many hours study ill need since that will vary, but on average how many hours lectures are there for a given module? I'll have one at Part 1 which i hope to sit next April and then sit the Part 2s in August

Pawwed Rig · 11-06-2023 12:51am

Part 2s will be a big ask trying to fit them between April and August

Going off this years guide the classes start in April and finish in July, i'd have thought that would be enough if that's the structure by the ITI?

I haven't considered doing the one part 1 exam i have in August 2023, i suspect i may be too late to register, I'm not relying on the accounting qualification for exemptions as theyre the same as from third level so there's nothing stopping me in theory (except a repeat of the CIMA exam where the result isnt until late July)

Pawwed Rig · 11-06-2023 8:40am

The summer period is really geared for repeats of the October to April session. Not impossible to get through but you will have to put the extra hours in

SureYWouldntYa · 11-06-2023 2:13pm

I've put in an enquiry to see if i can register for the August sitting, thank you!

robduffy98 · 27-07-2023 5:35pm

Hi All, Sitting Part 2 Exams in August 2023 and getting into study now - haven't really been attending lectures and keeping up to date so I'm in a position where I'll have to cram before the exams! Is there any approach you'd recommend given my circumstances? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Pawwed Rig · 03-08-2023 9:11am

What date are the exams? Are you repeating or doing them for the first time? When did you start cramming? Do you work in practice?

robduffy98 · 03-08-2023 8:21pm

Hey, thanks for reply, exams are on 21st of Aug and I'm doing them for first time as I had to defer the April 2023 sitting . I started last week and I'm at the stage now where I'm doing exam paper questions for personal tax and VAT, I'm about halfway through syllabus of business tax and I haven't touched capital taxes yet..

I work in Big4 so I'm on full time study leave from last week until the exams. Would you have any useful tips? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Pawwed Rig · 04-08-2023 7:45am

You have made it hard for yourself as (imo) the time you have allocated is not enough unless you already have a good grasp of the course contents or have a photographic memory.

How come so little study leave? You would normally get 6 weeks?

The exam questions are important but only if you have a good knowledge of the course materials and legislation.

Best of luck with it

robduffy98 · 04-08-2023 10:31am

Such helpful tips! 😊

What do you want? They are tough exams and require a serious amount of study. Tip for others - don't leave it all until the last second.

The best thing you could do at this point would be discard the Capital taxes and focus on the other 3. Get your legislation tabbed and get familiar with where to find the relevant sections. For VAT the VAT on property is the hardest bit. I found the institute materials to be poor on this topic and found it easier to study the legislation directly.

It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging set of exams, especially given the pass rates you mentioned. Tax and accounting exams can indeed be demanding, but your dedication and hard work can make a significant difference in your success. If you have any questions or need assistance with specific topics related to these exams, feel free to ask. Many others have likely gone through similar experiences and can offer valuable insights and support. Good luck with your studies and exams!
