    Hello Sarah

    I think CTA is the higher qualification as it is for Chartered status, Chartered Tax Adviser. There are a numerous people on this forum who have, are currently or are considering studying ATT/CTA. ATT will be good grounding for you to continue to CTA if you wish to.

    You may find this post contains some helpful information http://forums.aat.org.uk/showthread.php?36785-Att&p=264344#post264344

    Let us know what you decide.

    Hi Sarah

    I have done the ATT and can confirm that compared to AAT the difference on tax knowledge is vast. Before, I started the ATT I thought that I had reasonable tax knowledge but on receipt of my study pack from Tolleys I realised there is a major difference.

    If it helps I am pretty certain I still have stored on my computer a Tolleys Study Manual when I completed the qualification which was a few years ago, so whilst it is not particularly up to date it would give you an idea of what is involved. Please PM me if that would help!

    Regards

    Brian
