I know this is a subjective area but has anybody got any views on which qualification will suit my career progresion best!
I am AAT qualified and want to build my skills around personal and company tax, having covered these areas whilst completing the AAT, but only in very basic form.
My question is would I be better suited to study the ATT qualification first, as this will help with my immediate needs and then look at ACCA in the future. Also, would I get any exemptions with ACCA if I pass ATT.
for tax I would go ATT and that gives you a stepping stone to CTA for which you would normally need to have already qualified ACCA or ACA (or some other quivalents) first.
Its ACCA exam season at the moment so the ACCA website is pretty inacessible so can't check on the exemptions database. However, from memory AAT will give you exemption from F1, F2 and F3 and I think but can't confirm at the moment that ATT gives you exemption from F6.
I'm sure that you've already read the other posts on here about the restrictions that ACCA places on members who work for themselves so I won't labour that one.
ATT is very well respected and fits neatly between the two qualifications of AAT and ACCA. Don't write off the CTA route though.
hope that this helps a little,
good luck,
Shaun.

glad to be away from group cashflows for five mins.
Its got to the stage now that I've taken in so much that I'm actually convinced that I know nothing if that makes any sort of sense.
Any one topic I can read and answer questions on but as soon as I read the next topic it seems that I can no longer answer the questions on the one that I was able to answer a couple of hours before.
Feeling like that now can't be good! I've not been like this with any other paper it's just that P2 is enormous.
