    Hi Guys, Can anyone give me any tips for passing the tax exam. I was supposed to sit this exam in March but due to illness never got to and then June was cancelled so I am literally only starting to prep for it now and haven’t been in class from December.
    I was fairly strong in the class as I had received a distinction for my accounts technician so I am hoping it will all come back to me, but are there any areas in particular I should concentrate on?

    Any advice welcome 🙂

    Hiya, I’m also sitting in December and was asking similar question not long ago but didn’t get any response either! I have managed to go through whole study text but there is a lots of rules to remember, and I already forgot some! I have now started my revision to refresh memory on all important rules and I have focused mostly on IHT, Income Tax and CT. I feel sort of confident with Income tax and IHT and VAT, however I still need to refresh my memory re. CT and Computation of Gains. I also know basic admin bits but I may need to re-read all important dates etc before the exam. How you getting on with your revision? I believe we should get some IHT question in section B or 10point question is section C and CT and Income Tax in 15 mark q in section C.
    Take care,
    Jo

    Hi Jo, I’m sorry I am only seeing this now. Thanks so much for your reply, yes I’ve done similar to yourself. I’m just hoping it all comes together for me tomorrow. I sat audit today, there was major issues getting logged on to do the exam, so many people didn’t get to do their exams. Fingers crossed we get on ok tomorrow

    @burningdesire, I passed my audit thankfully, that was the my second attempt. I passed with 52% but tbh I thought I would have got higher as I was feeling so confident after the exam. I think Audit is one of those exams where you don’t know how you stand. For the exam this time I done so much practice and I think that’s what got me over the line. I done all the past papers off the ACCA website which helped massively because all the questions are quite similar. The multiple choice was very tricky.

    I never got to sit tax as there was technical issues but am planning on doing FR and tax in March.
