Fellowship

For only $264 per year, NTAA members may also apply for Fellowship and receive a Practising Certificate which enables them to practice as an "NTAA Tax Practitioner".  The Fellowship is an annual subscription which is in addition to the membership subscription.

Briefly, to be qualified to become a Fellow, members will need:

  • a valid and current practising certificate from the CPA Australia, the ICAA or the IPA; or
  • at least three years full time experience as a practitioner; and
  • hold a recognised degree with an accounting major.

The benefits of becoming an NTAA Fellow

Holders of Practising Certificates can use the name "NTAA Tax Practitioner" on signage, letterhead, business cards and the like.  Fellows may also use the post nominals NTAAF.

Fellows may audit self-managed superannuation funds for the purposes of the SIS Act (Competency Standards for Fellows of the NTAA auditing SMSFs).

Fellows are accredited to witness the signing of certain declarations and reports.  Please contact us for more information.

To save Fellows unnecessary paperwork, we maintain a register of the number of hours Fellows spend attending NTAA seminars. Details are available on request.

Will we become like the other tax bodies? No!

Holders of practising certificates find that:

  • we only do TAX!  The NTAA is purely focussed on issues that affect wage earners and family businesses in tax, FBT, GST and Superannuation. 
  • the NTAA does not want to intrude into your practice or dictate the way in which you run your business, nor will we put excessive requirements on your trust funds;
  • nor does the NTAA want to charge you excessively for the practising certificate.
