Description
MTR is a 90 minute monthly training course, held in London, Ipswich and Norwich – as well as a reference work. Each Issue records the most significant tax developments over a wide range of subjects (see below) during the previous month, containing 30 to 40 items. The aim is not necessarily to take the place of the journals, but rather to provide an easily digestible summary of them and, through the six-monthly Indexes, to build up, over the years, a useful reference work.
MTR is designed not primarily for the person who spends 100% of his/her time on tax, but rather for the practitioner (whether private client or company/commercial) for whom tax issues form part of his/her practice. Attendance at MTR qualifies for 1.5 CPD hours for members of the Law Society, for 1.5 CPD points for accountants (if MTR is considered relevant to the delegate’s practice) and (subject to the individual’s self-certification) should also count towards training requirements for the CIOT. For STEP purposes, MTR qualifies for CPD in principle, on the grounds that at least 50% of the content is trust and estate related.
The Notes are emailed to each delegate in the week before the presentations (and thus can easily be circulated around the office), with a follow-up page or two of practical points arising during the various sessions (whether in London, Ipswich or Norwich).
