TTPP58: Insight into Being a Member of a CIOT Technical Committee, and How to Become One

This episode is all about CIOT technical committees, to give you an insight into what its like, and also advice on how to become a member of one, based on my experiences.

I became interested way before I was tax qualified. I had no ATT and CTA at the time, and little tax experience so I waited for much longer than I probably should have done (in hindsight).

I definitely had a bit of imposter syndrome, because members of technical committees are so experienced and well respected, and I thought I wouldn’t be taken seriously until I was experienced enough.

I was very wrong, however!

The Employment Taxes Committee (of which I’m a member) is very friendly and welcoming.

Listen to the episode to get an insight into what it’s like and how to become a member.
