The Association of Taxation Technicians, the oldest and largest body concerned solely with tax compliance, announced today the results of its examination taken by 1,054 candidates on 6 and 7 May 2015. The Association reports that a high standard of performance was achieved by many candidates.

The Association President, Michael Steed, commenting upon the results said:

"It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the successful candidates from the May sitting of our exams. In total candidates sat 1,540 papers and 1,067 passes were achieved with 88 distinctions awarded for exceptional performance.

Our modular system allows candidates to study at their own pace. Whether they are working towards full membership by sitting the two compulsory and one optional paper together with our two E-Assessments or simply wish to obtain one or more Certificates of Competency in their specialist area. The flexibility continues to be popular.

As a result of the examinations 123 candidates have now completed the examination requirements for membership and a further 197 candidates have completed the examination requirements for membership by passing the two E-Assessments since the last pass list was issued in January 2015. I look forward to meeting as many as possible at our popular admission ceremonies held at the House of Lords."
