The Tax Institute

The Tax Institute provides microlearning solutions in tax from its Sydney national office, through Tax Academy microcredential units that firms buy for staff to complete around client work.

• Self-contained units at Foundation, Professional and Advanced levels, with no prerequisites or formal entry requirements for any unit and assumed knowledge set out where it applies.
• Fourteen Professional level units span income tax administration, trusts, superannuation, capital gains tax, fringe benefits, goods and services tax and TASA 2009.
• Each completed unit earns 10 hours of structured continuing professional development and a verified digital badge a staff member can share on a profile or email signature.
• Delivery is fully online and self-paced, with three months to finish a unit and multiple-choice assessment that learners may complete with reference material open.

Best for: accounting and advisory firms that need to lift specific tax skills in a team without taking people away from client work.

The Tax Institute runs a national continuing professional development events programme in tax that firms book for whole teams.

• Conferences and forums on specialist subjects, among them the National GST Conference, the National Superannuation Conference and the National Resources Tax Conference, each carrying published CPD hours.
• Conventions, retreats, intensives and masterclasses, with OnDemand recordings for staff who cannot attend a live session.
• Local tax clubs, discussion groups and women in tax events listed by state, and group tickets arranged through the national events team.

Best for: firm leaders keeping a whole tax team current on CPD against a published annual events calendar.
