This episode has not one guest, but three! Davinder Talwar, Autumn Murphy and Monica Georgala join me for this episode, and are all students from my trial Tax Research Masterclass.
Each person shares their unique experiences of tax research, challenges they’ve faced, how they’ve gone about improving their tax-research skills, and their tips to help you become better at tax research.
I’ve always felt being able to do tax research – finding the answer to questions, using legislation, case law, and guidance – is a vital skill for working in tax.
But I know it’s a difficult skill.
I’ve had my challenges with it. This episode’s guests have too.
I’m sure you will relate to their stories, and if you want to know why you should develop your research skills, or just want to improve, this will be a great episode for you.
Take a listen for more!
