    Dont mean to scare y'all :D

    I'm a business tax person. I don't like personal tax and I do as little of it as I can get away with. So I don't really deal with it a lot.

    Just need my text books to arrive......

    That's a difficult one and totally up to you.

    I worked 9 years in payroll before I moved to the UK and I can only say that I found it is an area you get stuck in.

    If you do accounts, it is assumed you can do more and do payroll for example, if you've only done payroll (or over the past few years) it's assumed you don't really know the rest and can only do payroll.

    That's not me being negative and saying you shouldn't do it, that's just my view on how it went when I wanted to swap from payroll to accounts.

    On the other side, if you finish ATT, would you be able to use it or swap to a job where you can use it? And do you need a sponsor all the way through, or would you be able to get the sponsor later on?

    When i original registered as a student of ATT you needed a sponspor but this often isnt a problem as your likely to know someone like another aat to say your a suitable candidate to be a student. The only problem could be to become a member you need to show that you have 2 years experience in taxation and get 2 people to sponsor/recommend you for membership so you would need to make sure you have this tax experience and not just general or accounts or payroll experience (i think)

    the reason am contemplating payroll as my next focus because the payroll team am currently in is UK and Ireland but there if opportunity for around the world also training is offered even encouraged, but that's for the future in the mean time i need to get my head around new systems company payroll rather than just SAT's, so any future training is there may re-think in 6 months or so
