The accounting stream also meets the prescribed academic requirements for registration as a tax agent by the Tax Agents Board. The Bachelor of Taxation will also count towards membership of other bodies such as the NIA, ATMA, and the TIA - even if the full accounting stream is not followed.
Applications for the Bachelor of Taxation program are made through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). UAC applications close on 26 September 2008. There is only one intake per year. More information is available on the How to Apply page.
