    government departments
•   A contribution to your annual CPD requirement
•   Excellent additional material for your CV
•   A potential route into CIOT or ATT Council

The duties of the Branch Committee are to:
•   To promote the values of the Institute and Association to the wider public in accordance with our
    charitable objectives and to promote our Professional Standards
•   To facilitate education of local branch members of the CIOT and ATT and members of the public
•   To be ambassadors for the CIOT and ATT in the region
•   To provide a core programme of Technical CPD to local branch members of the CIOT and ATT and
    members of the public
•   To build up good relations on a local level, with other professional bodies, firms and other relevant
    3rd parties
•   To provide an opportunity for members and non-members to meet other tax professionals and
    share technical issues

BRANCH NETWORK PROGRAMME 2019/20 - The Association of ...
We are delighted to take on the role of Chair of the Branches Network this year. Malachy will be a hard act to follow and we’d
BRANCH      like to extend our thanks to him for his sterling efforts over the last few years. As working mothers of young children, sharing

NETWORK
            the role of chairing the Branches Forum was an ideal solution and reflects the willingness of the CIOT and ATT to adapt and
            change to meet the needs of its members in today’s working world.

CO-CHAIRS   The Branch Network continues to offer members and non-members a varied programme of high quality CPD at a reasonable
            cost, thus meeting one of its aims to educate members and non-members. As well as technical courses, the Branches also
            offer soft skills training, events tailored to those earlier on in their careers and social events. Hopefully, there is something for
            everyone, specialists, general practitioners, large firms and small firms.

            As well as the education side, attending events gives you an opportunity to network with others and share knowledge
            and experience. Branch events are typically informal and friendly and so we would encourage everyone to take these
            opportunities.

            It is very rewarding being involved in the Branch Network, so we would encourage you to become involved. We have certainly
            made some good friends by being involved as well as learning some new skills and gaining new experiences. We hope
            over the period of our Chairship that we can encourage others to get involved in their local branches. The Branch Network
            depends on volunteers to continue to run effectively and (as we personally know) even with limited time it is possible to have
            an impact and be involved.

            We are looking forward to the challenges that come with this role and we look forward to hearing any feedback on the
            Branches Network, of where it works or doesn’t work.

            We also hope to meet lots of you on the way.

            Zoe Roberts and Jo Routier
            Co-Chairs
            Branches Network

CHAIR OF    The New Tax Professionals (“NTP”) network is continuing to grow its offering and reach following its formation a few years
            ago. Students or members of CIOT/ATT who are in the first ten years of their career in tax constitute “NTPs” and our aim is

THE NTP     to encourage engagement between the CIOT/ATT and NTPs.

COMMITTEE   We host events organised centrally through the NTP from ‘soft skills’ and social events to ‘general interest topics’ that
            are particularly relevant to those in the early part of their career (such as our recent panel discussion on the evolution
            of tax technology). In addition to these events we also look to promote the Branches Network to NTPs and hope to
            grow participation in this manner through widening the geographic scope of our committee and continuing to work
            collaboratively with local branch committee members.

            Over the past 12 months, we are proud to have successfully forged links with NTP organisations in other European
            countries through promoting the CIOT/ATT NTP success story within CFE Tax Advisors Europe. We also look forward to
            building our links with other organisations, such as Women in Tax, as we look to replicate the successful joint NTP and WiT
            event hosted in connection with International Women’s Day and also explore issues facing those that have taken a career
            break from the tax profession and supporting those individuals as they return to work.

            Our events and the NTP initiative in general have had the benefit of valuable support from past and current Presidents
            and Council members who recognise the need to engage with those in the early stages of the profession. We look forward
            to developing our network and programme of events over the next 12 months.

            To contact the New Tax Professionals committee please email ntp@tax.org.uk. We are always keen to hear from anyone
            who would like to be involved in the development of our network and also very open to suggestions from NTPers on the
            types of events and initiatives they would like the CIOT/ATT to offer.

            New Tax Professionals Joint Committee

CHAIR       It seems that the UK tax system rarely stands still and this is perhaps especially true in Scotland. The Scotland
            Act 2012 passed additional revenue raising powers to the Scottish parliament and fundamentally changed the

OF THE      tax landscape in Scotland. As a result, it was necessary to expand CIOT/ATT's capabilities in Scotland so in 2013
            the existing Scotland Branch was reformed into a Hub steering committee with new local Branches established in
SCOTLAND    Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. The Scottish Borders Branch was formed shortly afterwards and each of these
            branches continues to flourish driven by a talented pool of motivated volunteers.
HUB         In addition to the fully devolved tax powers, Scottish taxation was further complicated when The Scotland Act 2016
            provided the Scottish parliament with the ability to set its own tax rates and bands for some, but not all, types of
            income and subsequent years have seen income tax in Scotland diverge from that in the rest of the UK.

            To help our members deal with the complexities of Scottish taxation in addition to UK-wide tax issues, the local
            Branches arrange a series of technical seminars each year, often working together with other professional bodies,
            where members and other stakeholders can learn and expand their professional network. In addition, the Hub
            organises the Scotland Annual Tax Conference in November of each year which attracts some of the UK’s top tax
            speakers and politicians.

            We are always keen to hear from members who want to assist whether at local Branch level or, for instance, to help
            inform future tax policy through input into the CIOT Scottish Technical Committee. So please do get in touch via
            scotland@tax.org.uk if you want to get more involved in the constantly evolving arena of Scottish taxation.

     Herschel Santineer | Vice Chair                      For the next few years we have decided that it would
     01622 744403                                         be good to try something new for our members, being
                                                          round table discussion groups. The sessions will have
     Lesley Carrington | Treasurer                        limited space to make the most of the group and we will
                                                          be touring the county. They are intended to consist of
     Phillip Kearsey | Working Together Liaison Officer   discussions of our practical experiences relating to the
     01227 373271                                         topics, with one or two speakers from outside of the

     Gareth Bridgland                                     discussion. However, this is intended to be an interactive
                                                          session, so please come armed with something to talk

                                                          The intention is that the following year we will run
                                                          similar sessions in those locations that have not
                                                          discussed that topic. As always, we are pleased to hear
                                                          of any suggestions for topics or what you feel would
