What Will I Study?
Programme
To become a Tax Technician Member of the Irish Taxation Institute and to qualify to use the designatory letters TMITI, it is necessary to complete successfully the Tax Technician examinations.
The ITI provides a comprehensive, practical programme that students must attend before attempting the Tax Technician examinations. This programme is updated annually to reflect the ever-changing requirements of the Irish tax administration system. The aim of the TMITI programme is to provide a practical qualification in the skills required to undertake tax compliance work.
The six subjects covered in the TMITI programme are as follows:

Corporation Tax Compliance provides an understanding of the principles of corporation tax to enable Technician Members to prepare and file corporation tax returns.
Capital Gains Tax Compliance for Individuals covers the principles of CGT. Technician Members will be able to undertake CGT computations, as well as understand CGT compliance and clearance procedures.
