FAQs

From 1 July 2022 tax agents must complete at least 120 hours of continuing professional education (CPE), also known as continuing professional development (CPD), over a three-year period, and at least 20 hours in each year (90 hours over three-years and at least 20 hours in each year for BAS agents). Tax practitioners must complete CPE in order to maintain their registration. However, tax practitioners with certain conditions on their registration may need to meet other requirements.

The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) has a system of self-assessment for CPE. That means tax practitioners must use their own judgement in choosing CPE activities. An education activity is considered to be a valid CPE activity if it is relevant to the services the tax practitioner provides and if it maintains, develops or promotes their skills, knowledge or attributes. Many of the services offered to The Institute of Financial Professionals Australia members count as CPE activities, including seminars, webinars, discussion groups and podcasts.

  • seminars, workshops, webinars, courses and lectures
  • structured conferences and discussion groups (including by phone or video conference)
  • tertiary courses provided by universities, registered training organisations, other registered higher education institutions or other approved course providers
  • other education activities, provided by an appropriate organisation
  • research, writing and presentation by a registered tax (financial) adviser, tax or BAS agent of technical publications or structured training
  • peer review of research and writing submitted for publication or presentation in structured training
  • computer/internet-assisted courses, audiotape or videotape packages
  • attendance at structured in-house training on tax related subjects by persons or organisations with suitable qualifications and/or practical experience in the subject area covered
  • attendance at appropriate Australian Taxation Office seminars and presentations
  • relevant CPE activities provided by The Institute of Financial Professionals Australia or another recognised professional association.
  • a unit of study or other CPE activity on the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) including the Code of Professional Conduct.
