The Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Institute of Indirect Taxation (IIT), a professional body formed in 1991 whose members include solicitors, barristers and accountants specialising in indirect taxation, are to merge. The CIOT has 16,000 members and the IIT has approximately 600.
‘VAT and other indirect taxes are increasingly centre-stage in media and political debate, at both Westminster and Brussels,’ said IIT Chairman Bob Davies. ‘In the interests of good tax law it is important that the technical knowledge and experience of indirect tax practitioners is brought to bear in these discussions.’
