ACCA - The global body for professional accountants

ACCA and the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) have signed an agreement to extend and enhance the benefits available to both bodies' global membership. This is an opportunity for ACCA members to prove their expertise in international tax and gain a specialist qualification from one of the world's most respected professional bodies. The Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT) is particularly relevant to qualified accountants with a tax background who are looking to specialise further in international taxation.

ADIT overview of benefits

  • global benchmark of quality and achievement and an independent means of demonstrating international tax expertise 
  • portable qualification across borders and industries 
  • use of the designatory letters of 'ADIT' after your name and the right to describe oneself as an 'International Tax Affiliate of The Chartered Institute of Taxation' upon completion of the diploma
  • ACCA members receive a 10% discount on ADIT course fees.

Registration and examinations

The ADIT has three components:

  • Paper I: Principles of International Taxation 
  • Paper II: Advanced International Taxation - Primary Jurisdiction 
  • Paper III: Principles of Corporate and International Taxation - Secondary Jurisdiction
  • the ADIT is freestanding, modular and with no pre-conditions. It allows scope for tax advisors to demonstrate their high level of competence in a "home" country taxation system, and an awareness of an ‘away’ country's system.

Further information, including deadline dates and associated fees, are available in the qualification prospectus. Please use the links under 'related documents' and ‘external links’.
