ATT Results Day!

Thanks Jo and good luck to you and everyone else too!

Results out... Passed Personal Tax after being somewhat convinced of failure! Law E assessment and one more exam to go until membership, bring it on!

I have just joined, thanks Jo! And thanks BeccaLou, congrats to you too!

Hmmmm i haven't really thought about what other paper to take, i'm currently at university doing tax (on my placement year at the mo) so am feeling a pull toward business compliance due to its much higher pass rates. It was a struggle to revise for PT even without other exams to think about. However this is only really on the basis that i complete an exam whilst also studying at uni, if uni proves too much i'll likely wait until that's completed.

A few ex grant thornton tax employees who worked in the medium sized firm i worked in said i should just follow the easiest route to membership unless i already know what i would like to specialise in, as really its just the qualification that matters not the modules. So likely business compliance in any case.

What was/is your route? Have you done the law e-assessment? That worries me a lot more than the exam..

Corporation Tax for me, I do accounts and ct600 all the time, so makes since for me

I am an AAT member in practice, with clients ranging from plasterers to two payday loan companies, i'm quite aware of the constant new challenges and odd situations that present themselves on a scarily regular basis. I 'met clients' (whilst employed) way before I was MIP, in fact way before MAAT. Do you presume I left school last week and have never actually completed any practical experience? Furthermore, this week I am revising the tax returns for a ST whose previous accountant was FCA with 40 years experience, so sometimes I think competence is just as/more important than being able to say 'I've been doing it X years'.
