Principles of Taxation

Principles of Taxation (PoT)

Our PoT tuition breaks the syllabus down into smaller examinable topics. For each topic, our classes explain the key technical points in a simplified, easy to understand way before demonstrating how to answer exam questions on the topic using the ICAEW Question Bank. We also group interrelated topics together to make learning the content much more manageable. 

The learning strategies and exam techniques you will be taught are those which enabled Kieran to score 88% in PoT before going on to win several ICAEW prizes at Professional and Advanced Level. This tuition approach has resulted in several of our students also winning prizes.​

Huge thanks to Ben for his tutorial videos - I actually found the POT exam, the easiest of all ACA Certificate Exams. Perhaps because that was really the only exam that felt very black & white. I woke up this morning to a staggering, 96% achieved at POT. Overall, I've achieved 87% average from all certificate exams, and that would not be possible without your (Kieran, Ben) help.

STUDY MATERIALS

(2023)

Our prize-winning ACA tutor, Kieran Doe, has developed our unique Principles of Tax Study Materials which include learning notes and exam technique guidance. 

Learning Notes

Our Learning Notes concisely summarise the essential technical knowledge you need to pass the exam. This enables you to focus on the essential content for each topic and then test yourself by reproducing the condensed content on a blank page. This will force you to actively recall the information so that it is embedded in your brain ready to use for exam questions.

The notes include:​​

  • Easy-to-use summarised technical notes for each topic

  • Calculation proformas and reminders of things to include in your answer

A small sample is included at the bottom of this page. ​

Exam Technique Guidance

We have included detailed exam technique guidance for each type of long question. Using this exam technique will ensure that you score top marks on both long questions.
