1. How many CPD/CPE hours does a tax practitioner need to maintain registration with the TPB?
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.
2. How can tax practitioners achieve their CPD/CPE 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.
3. What CPD/CPE activities may be considered appropriate by the TPB policy?
