• I hold a CTax designation. How will I renew this going forward?
Those who currently hold a CTax designation will retain it going forward subject to the completion of 5 hours’ structured tax CPD per year. This forms part of your overall CPD requirement. Holders of the CTax designation are expected to maintain a record of their tax CPD and be able to provide evidence of completion if they are selected for audit. Those found to be non-compliant with tax CPD may lose the CTax designation. If you did not renew your CTax certificate in 2024 but are still eligible to renew under the renewal policy, please contact Aisling Mooney.
