CIOT welcomes debate over unqualified

Thursday, 17 Jul 2008 16:21
The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) welcomes the debate which proposed that unqualified accountants and tax advisers should have professionally recognised qualifications before they can provide services.

The CIOT notes with interest the recent Early Day Motion (EDM) asking for legal protection for the term accountant. The CIOT would go further and include not only accountants but also tax and financial advisers.

Nick Goulding, CIOT President, says: “The time has come to recognise the importance of obtaining professional qualifications in order to provide tax services to both business and the public.”

An e-petition was recently posted on the Downing Street website regarding this issue.
