Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators - training courses

Each year HM Revenue & Customs runs two training courses in the UK for the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (CATA) (This link will take you to another website). The courses are open to officials of member administrations.

The courses are residential in the UK during August and September with an introductory period of distance learning over the internet starting in June and continuing after the residential event until the end of the year.

Achieving Management Potential is designed to help the senior tax official achieve his or her full potential as a manager and leader.

The Commonwealth Tax Inspectors Course is designed to give a rigorous introduction to the main issues in contemporary tax compliance work. It is aimed at audit/compliance professionals and trainers who will benefit from exposure to the UK’s approach to compliance work.
