19 April 2013hello members,
i am interested in becoming a tax consultant after becoming a ca. For this purpose,i will try to do articleship in a tax firm & read tax laws.
My doubts are:
1) which field has a better scope - IDT or DT?
2) Is knowledge of international taxation also required or knowledge of local taxes will suffice?
3) what else can i do to enhance my knowledge?

My personal opinion is that there is more growth in IDT field...

Dear Neeti,
There is scope in both DT and IDT..it depends on what field interests you.
apart from knowing just the Income Tax Act, a consultant also needs to be well versed with the other laws such as Company Law, FEMA, SEBI, Partnership act etc.
you can start reading professional journals such as The Chartered Accountant, BCAJ etc
since a transaction, whether feasible or not, has to be looked at from all the angles.
