The structure of the Branch mirrors Revenue’s structure, with a forum for engagement with Personal Division, Business Division, Medium Enterprises Division, Large Corporates Division and High Wealth & Financial Services Division.
This structure enables our members to meet and correspond with each other and with Revenue officials on matters of importance to them in their work as Chartered Tax Advisers (CTA). It is a unique service for Institute members.
The Institute host discussion groups which provide an opportunity for members to get together and discuss issues of concern. At these meetings, feedback can be provided to the Institute and Branch representatives to raise with Revenue.
Typically once a year, Branch representatives have the opportunity to meet with Revenue at divisional level. Tax administration difficulties can be discussed and resolved in these fora. The meetings also provide an opportunity for members to hear from Revenue about their current and planned activities.
Details of upcoming meetings and developments from meetings are communicated to members in TaxFax, and in our regular member bulletins.
We would encourage all members to get involved in some way with the Branch; as a Branch representative, by attending a local discussion group or providing feedback on current issues in your local area.
