The Finance & Tax Academy proudly offers the Advanced Course in International Taxation, a structured and practical training programme designed to prepare professionals for the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT), awarded by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT).
This course is ideal for tax specialists, accountants, legal professionals, and finance managers who want to develop expertise in cross-border tax issues and global tax strategy. Recognised in over 120 countries, the ADIT qualification is the benchmark for excellence in international taxation.
The Advanced Course in International Taxation is offered twice yearly to align with CIOT’s ADIT exam schedule:
February Intake
August Intake
Each intake follows a detailed timetable, allowing participants to plan studies effectively around professional commitments.
Our programme is ideal for individuals seeking to:
Gain recognised qualifications in international taxation
Prepare for ADIT exams with expert guidance
Advance into advisory, leadership, or global compliance roles
Build a career in multinational tax or cross-border consulting
We are a recognised CIOT-affiliated training provider, committed to delivering world-class instruction, practical casework, and full academic support.
1. Structured Preparation for ADIT
We guide you through every step—from CIOT registration to exam success. The course follows the official syllabus, covering tax treaties, transfer pricing, residence rules, and anti-avoidance measures.
2. Extended Essay Option
Instead of a second written exam, participants can choose the Extended Essay route, which allows for a 15,000–20,000-word research paper under our mentorship. Ideal for candidates seeking in-depth expertise or publication potential.
3. Global Opportunities
The ADIT qualification, supported by our course, enables you to apply for roles in major tax firms, multinational corporations, and regulatory agencies across jurisdictions.
4. Affiliate Recognition
Successful participants may apply to become CIOT ADIT Affiliates, gaining access to professional resources, events, and global tax networks.
5. Employer Value
The qualification is highly valued by employers for its focus on practical problem-solving and global tax application—making you a strategic asset to any organisation.
Our Advanced Course in International Taxation is aligned with the ADIT qualification structure:
Paper 1: Principles of International Taxation (Compulsory)
Covers foundational elements such as permanent establishments, residence, source rules, double tax treaties, and OECD guidelines.
Extended Essay (in place of Paper 2)
We support the Extended Essay option approved by CIOT, providing mentorship, academic feedback, and structured writing support.
