Training Course Content
The Joint Programme is one study programme to gain two highly valued professional qualifications. The three routes are:
- Major Corporates – specialising in the tax affairs of large corporates (FTSE 350 companies)
- Owner-Managed Businesses – specialising in the tax affairs of private businesses
- Indirect Tax – specialising in VAT and other indirect tax
Under the Joint Programme, you need to study 14 out of the 15 ACA modules and choose one specialist CTA Advanced Technical Paper to gain the ACA qualification. The ACA Professional Level Business Planning: Taxation module is NOT sat under the Joint Programme.
The CTA Specialist Paper at this stage is a choice of one from these three CTA Advanced Technical papers depending on your area of specialisation. The papers are:
- Taxation of Major Corporates
- Taxation of Owner-Managed Businesses
- Domestic Indirect Taxation
You must sit the CTA Specialist Paper before you move onto the Advanced level ACA papers.
