Hi all,
So, I'm a PQ ACA and a full member of the AAT... I'm considering going no further with the ACA (for various reasons which have been discussed elsewhere), and I just wonder whether the ATT offer any exemptions from their exams? I couldn't find anything on their wesbite so thought I'd check here!
Thanks guys,
MikeJ.

Hmmm... thanks Jo. So, basically, there's nothing available... that's a pain; then ACA tax paper was a pain to pass!0 -

I don't think there are any additional exemptions available to you for your ACA PQ status

Did you do personal and business tax at AAT? If so, you can get an exemption from ATT business tax.
Though my view is; if you want to do further studies finish your last three papers you complete moron! (I mean this in the nicest possible way of course
)

Hahaha. I can't deny it's a valid point!
I'm just in to exemptions at the moment - my AAT Membership is through the 'PQ' route; I didn't have to sit any exams to get the qualification other than the Competence Test (and, of course, the rock-hard ACA Professional Stage exams!) so I thought I'd see if the same generosity was afforded by the ATT.
(So, no, I didn't specifically sit 'Business Tax' on the AAT syllabus either. Shame.)0 -

Why don't you get some of the lastest study manuals from Gillards - the areas that you think you need to SWAT up on. Use them as a revision guide. Go through the chapter summaries and attempt the question banks. That will no doubt get you bang up to speed for attacking the TIs & CS Papers'.
Seems pointless studying for four papers (ATT) instead of three!!! (ACA)

I've got them all mate... 'Corporate Reporting', 'Audit and Assurance', 'Taxation', 'Business Change', 'Case'... I think there's one more too but can't think what it's called; it's been a few months since I looked. They stack, literally, three feet high in my study at home.
I did actually attend the first week of tuition for the two TIs and Case papers at BPP and was absolutely blown away with the quantity of knowlege required and the level of home-study time needed too. It was okay when I had one small baby (as when I was taking professional stage) but I now have a three year-old and a 6 month old and there just aren't enough hours in the day.
The 'assumed knowlege' that's a bit of a killer too - much of what I studied a few years ago now simply isn't used it in my day-to-day work.0 -

I had a meeting last week with a chap that was the ICAEW eduction adviser and now he is part of a local tuition provider and his words were basically at the advanced stage it's a case of getting through the TI papers. In comparision the case study is 'easy'. Being that you have to write a business report in client language. The point I'm making is that as you deal with clients on a day to day basis in the 'rea' world you are probably already equiped to tackle that paper.
I did ATT via distance learning and it'll require the same amount of home-study so I wouldn't assume it's the easy option.

Yeah I know it's not. I was just interested to find out if there are any nice chunky exemptions for people who've passed the ACA tax papers. If it was just a case of sitting some 'top-up' exams (like AAT - ACA fast-track students do) then it might well have been worth considering.0 -

In a round about way there is. If you were to complete ACA and wanted to continue your studies into tax the CTA allow entrance via either a CCAB or ATT qualified.
I think my personal view on the current exemption is quite well documented and that is it shouldn't be given.
