Once a tax graduate has completed the ACA do they have to do the CTA or can they chose not to?

Hi

Thank you very much for your question.

Most Tax graduates will be expected to do the CA and CTA combined as this is the standard pathway (whereas apprentices will tend to do the ACA and only do the CTA afterwards, if they choose to do so). However, it will slightly depend on which office and sub-service line within Tax that you are in, as some don't require the CTA.

Once you have started at EY however, you would be able to discuss your qualification options with the Professional Qualifications Team, should the need arise.

I hope this helps, but please do let me know if you have any further queries.
