Transitional commercial law requirements for tax agents
The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has introduced some transitional arrangements relating to Board approved courses in commercial law for new and renewal tax agent applications lodged between 1 March 2013 and 30 June 2014. Transitional requirements between 1 March 2013 and 30 June 2014 The TPB has reduced the requirements for a Board approved course in commercial law from three units to two units for applications made between 1 March 2013 and 30 June 2014. The two units should cover most of the following ‘core commercial law areas’:
- Australian legal systems and processes;
- Contracts;
- The law of entities (including partnerships, corporations and trusts) and business structures; and
- Property law.
A list of approved ‘core’ commercial law subjects can be found in the TPB’s Tax agent qualifications list. Requirements from 1 July 2014 From 1 July 2014, the requirements for a Board approved course in commercial law will change back to three units. This three unit requirement will apply to all new and renewal applications made from 1 July 2014. The TPB says it is currently updating its website to reflect the transitional arrangements regarding commercial law requirements.
