    Hi Rohit, I am currently pursuing a career in tax and I complete the ACA qualification. I think the ACA qualification is good because you are provided with a good overview of accounting (which includes exams in tax) which is useful for all areas of tax including international tax. However, I think there is the option to also complete the CTA (chartered tax adviser) qualification if you join EY on the grad scheme. I am not completeing the CTA qualification at present but I have heard this is good as it focuses on soley on more complex tax aspects and you can use your knowlegde from that in your everyday work.
