karl and caroline Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi there I was wondering if anyone here is a UK qualified accountant now working in Australia. I was wondering what courses/qualifications you did (if any) so you could offer BACs returns & tax advice to clients. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 In order to give Tax advice in Australia you have to be registered with the Tax Practitioners board. You need to have passed an approved course in Australian Tax Law and an approved course in Australian Commercial Law. There's a whole range of Australian Universities that have them, but unless you're doing a degree course at the same time the best option is to do the courses from The Tax Institute. The bad news is that passing the exams is not enough. You also have to have at least 12months full time experience of Australian Tax. But you can't get that experience self-employed as you'd be breaking the law and no one want to employ someone who they expect will be their competition in a year or two. Self-employment under the umbrella of a franchise (who have the TPB registration) is about the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
