Notes for editors
- The ADIT qualification, introduced in 2004, is a global benchmark of quality and an independent means of demonstrating international tax knowledge and ability. Its portability is also attractive to students and employers and it is a demonstration of a student’s expertise in multiple countries and international tax subjects. The CIOT administers and awards ADIT students. Those who complete the ADIT are entitled to put the designatory letters 'ADIT' after their name and gain the opportunity to become an International Tax Affiliate of the CIOT. There are two windows to sit ADIT exams every year, in June and December. Find out more about the ADIT qualification.
