3 ways study can future-proof your career

The tax profession is more complex than ever. Here’s why
study is the answer.

It’s no secret that tax is a profession that is undergoing
immense change and disruption. The constantly evolving state of tax law and
administration means that tax practitioners need to keep their skills and
knowledge up to date with the changing landscape .

Yes, these are challenging times, but The Tax Institute is
ready to equip professionals for change.

When our education program was first developed, it addressed
the needs of employers, who said many graduates possessed sound theoretical
knowledge, but often lacked the practical skills to hit the ground running.

The Tax Institute’s remit was then to develop education that
delivered practical, applied learning. This was achieved through having
industry experts develop and deliver each subject.

To address the reality of tax becoming increasingly
specialised, The Tax Institute offers a wider, more comprehensive suite of
specialist subjects on topics such as superannuation, corporate tax, trusts,
estates and wealth management. These subjects help students to develop the
analytical skills to effectively address intricate, even ambiguous, tax
challenges.

To prepare members for digital disruption, automation and the ATO’s ‘do it yourself’ model for taxpayers, the internationally-recognised Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) designation, in particular CTA3 Advisory, will help by elevating the way tax professionals provide client advice. A skill that can’t be automated in the foreseeable future.
