Description

On 12 June 2020, The Taxation Institute of Hong Kong (TIHK) has announced that it has successfully obtained the licence from the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) to grant the designation ‘Chartered Tax Adviser’ to its members.

The licence is granted to TIHK as CIOT’s next step in developing the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) brand as a leading international standard in tax. This follows the granting of the same right to the Irish Tax Institute (ITI) and The Tax Institute (TTI) in Australia in 2012.

Under the agreement, nearly 1,900 members of TIHK will be able to convert their existing Certified Tax Adviser qualification to Chartered Tax Adviser, joining the existing 19,000 CIOT members, more than 5,000 ITI members and more than 7,000 members of TTI who can already call themselves Chartered Tax Advisers.

The Chartered Tax Adviser designation is recognised and respected internationally as a mark of technical excellence and professional integrity.
