The Personal Tax Advisor Test is designed for candidates who are (or are training to be) Taxation Technicians,  Chartered Tax Advisors or Chartered Accountants and are qualified members of their relevant professional body, such as ATT, CIOT, ICAEW, ACCA or similar.  They would have specialist tax knowledge and be applying for positions such as Tax Senior or Tax Manager.  

This test assesses UK tax technical knowledge relating to personal and family tax issues for roles in Public Practice Chartered Accounting firms, or more specialist Personal Tax Advisors.

The test is specific to the United Kingdom (excluding Scotland), with annually updated questions to reflect current taxation legislation.  The test is currently based on the 2020/21 tax year.

If would prefer a test that includes questions on business and corporation tax as well as on personal and capital taxes have a look at the Generalist Tax Advisor Test.  Alternatively for a test covering more skills for advising clients, financial reporting as well as tax, the Chartered Accountant (Public Practice) Test or the Part / Non Qualified (Public Practice) Tests might be what you're looking for.

This test covers three areas of taxation knowledge:

• Rules and Regulations;
• Income tax rates, bands, allowances and reliefs;
• Trusts, Estates, CGT and IHT

Recruiting managers gain insight into a candidate's skills and knowledge in each of these three areas and identify performance in those most relevant to the vacant role, as well as a comparative overall score and performance against a norm group of other tax specialists at a similar level of experience and qualification.
