Tax Training, Designed Around Your Team

No two tax teams are the same, so no two of our training programmes are either. We work with accountancy firms, law firms, in-house tax teams and multinationals to design bespoke tax training built around your people, your clients and your business.

The most impressive part of the training for me was the mix of theory and first-hand experience — covering Practice, Industry and Tax Authority points of view. I couldn’t recommend the services of ExtraTax Training highly enough.

What we deliver

Bespoke programmes across corporate tax, international tax, transfer pricing and beyond.

Corporate Tax Training

UK and Irish corporate tax, from specialist technical programmes on areas like the Corporate Interest Restriction and loan relationships, to rolling Lunch & Learn update series and corporation tax fundamentals. Tiered by experience level, so juniors and senior staff each get the depth they need.

International Tax Training

Tax treaties, residence, permanent establishment, withholding taxes, CFCs and cross-border issues, from team foundations to pan-European programmes and conferences. As an example, our multi-year partnership with Grant Thornton has grown from a single office to a network-wide European tax conference.

Transfer Pricing Training

From Transfer Pricing 101 for your finance team to a practical Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing programme for new graduates, we bring TP concepts to life. Also offering bespoke ADIT Transfer Pricing courses for your cohort, consistently delivering 100% ADIT pass rates in the TP option.

Graduate Programmes

Structured development programmes that turn capable graduates into confident tax professionals. Technical foundations, legislative research skills and client communication, designed around your cohort and refreshed for each intake.

CTA Exam Support

Tailored small-group support for your firm's CTA trainees, working alongside their main course provider. Offering regular sessions, individual homework feedback, mocks and one-to-one reviews to keep your people on track to pass.

Specialist Courses & Events

Our renowned three-day Introduction to US International Corporate Taxation with Narelle MacKenzie, our Cross-Border Tax Conference held in Northern Ireland, and specialist workshops delivered with trusted associate trainers.

Who we work with

Accountancy and law firms

A cost-effective way to develop your tax team — from graduate programmes through to specialist technical training for experienced staff — while your partners and directors stay focused on clients.

In-house tax teams

Our team has held in-house roles and understands the work. You know the value of tailored training for your team and the wider business; we have the capacity to design and deliver it.

Finance teams

Practical upskilling in the taxes that land on a CFO's desk — payroll taxes, VAT, customs, corporate tax and transfer pricing — so your team can handle the day-to-day with confidence and know when to call the advisers.

How we work with you

We don't arrive with a fixed syllabus. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your team and your business.

Understand

Your people, their experience levels and the work they actually do — and where you want them to be in one, two or three years.

Design

A programme built around those needs: the right topics, depth and format, agreed with you, with draft materials shared in advance.

Deliver

Online, in person or hybrid, scheduled around your business calendar. Interactive, exercise-led sessions in small groups, using scenarios your team will recognise.

Refine

Feedback from participants and leadership shapes the programme as it runs. With the best programmes, like our longest client partnerships, evolving year on year.

Why choose ExtraTax Training

Designed around you

We take the time to understand where your team is now and where you want them to be. No off-the-shelf content, no one-size-fits-all.

Diverse perspectives

Our tutors have advised clients, led in-house teams and worked inside HMRC — training that covers how the rules play out on every side of an issue.

Focused learning outcomes

Our courses aren't about gathering CPD points. Every programme is built around outcomes — what your team will be able to do afterwards.

Proven with demanding clients

Big 4 specialist teams, Top 25 UK firms, FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 multinationals. Building partnerships that deepen year on year.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of tax training do you offer?

Bespoke programmes in UK and Irish corporate tax, international tax, transfer pricing, VAT and employment taxes — plus structured graduate development programmes, CTA exam support for firms' trainees, and specialist courses including US international corporate taxation. Each area has its own page with examples of recent client work.

Who is the training for?

Accountancy and law firms developing their tax teams, in-house tax teams in multinationals, finance teams handling tax day-to-day, and business leaders who want to understand the basics. Programmes are pitched to the participants in the room, from new graduates to senior leaders.

Is the training off-the-shelf or tailored?

Tailored, always. We design every programme around your team's experience, your clients or business, and your goals. The examples across our training pages show what other organisations have commissioned, not a fixed menu.

Where do you deliver training?

Anywhere. We're based in Belfast and deliver across the UK, Ireland, Europe, Middle East and Africa. In person, online or hybrid, including multi-country cohorts across time zones.
