ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN INTERNATIONAL TAXATION – JUNE 2014
7 August 2014
Awards, Distinctions and Overall Pass List
The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT), the principal body in the United Kingdom concerned solely with
taxation, announced today the results of its Advanced Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT)
examinations held on 10, 11 and 12 June 2014. There were 549 candidates in total, an increase of 10% on
June 2013. Candidates sat exams in 38 different countries and territories.
The Institute President, Anne Fairpo, commenting on the results said:
“I would like to offer my congratulations to all successful candidates. ADIT is a rigorous and challenging
qualification and candidates should be immensely proud of the technical expertise and analytical skills they
have demonstrated in passing their exams. We hope to welcome them as International Tax Affiliates of the
Chartered Institute of Taxation in due course.
“The international landscape of tax is ever in flux, requiring the best tax professionals to steer their
businesses in line with the winds of change. The ADIT qualification equips our students with the skills and
knowledge to be successful in what is a dynamic and challenging international environment. ADIT is going
from strength to strength, and I am confident about its continued success going forward. The qualification’s
status as a global benchmark is evident in the growing number of candidates pursuing the qualification and
the increasing number of countries where they work. The increased range of choice available to ADIT
students reflects this diversity, from the new Cyprus option paper to the availability of an on-screen exam
option for all ADIT exam candidates.”

FOR INFORMATION:
Our goal is to make the Diploma a truly international qualification. As this vision is realised, international tax practitioners moving from one country
to another will share an internationally recognised qualification that sets a global benchmark in international tax expertise. The Diploma standard is
supervised by an Academic Board of distinguished and highly respected international tax professionals.
ADIT is a modular qualification with three examinations, of which Paper II or Paper III may be substituted by a thesis. Those who have completed all
the elements to be awarded the Diploma may use the designatory letters ‘ADIT’. The Diploma is a free-standing qualification which will not give the
right to membership of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. However, holders of the Diploma may apply to become an ‘International Tax Affiliate of
The Chartered Institute of Taxation’. This ongoing link with the CIOT will entitle the individual to receive a number of benefits.
The Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) is the leading professional body in the United Kingdom concerned solely with taxation. The CIOT is an
educational charity, promoting education and study of the administration and practice of taxation. One of our key aims is to work for a better, more
efficient, tax system for all affected by it – taxpayers, their advisers and the authorities. The CIOT’s work covers all aspects of taxation, including
direct and indirect taxes and duties. Through our Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG), the CIOT has a particular focus on improving the tax
system, including tax credits and benefits, for the unrepresented taxpayer.
The CIOT draws on our members’ experience in private practice, commerce and industry, government and academia to improve tax administration
and propose and explain how tax policy objectives can most effectively be achieved. We also link to, and draw on, similar leading professional tax
bodies in other countries. The CIOT’s comments and recommendations on tax issues are made in line with our charitable objectives: we are
politically neutral in our work.
The CIOT’s 17,000 members have the practising title of ‘Chartered Tax Adviser’ and the designatory letters ‘CTA’, to represent the leading tax
qualification.
