  • Professional qualifications: Most tax consultants in the UK have professional qualifications in accountancy, tax law or law. The most common certifications are ACCA, CIMA, ACA and CTA.
  • Ethical standards: Tax consultants must adhere to high standards of ethics and professional conduct. Professional regulatory bodies establish rules governing ethical behavior and require their members to adhere to those rules.
