First European Professional Affairs Handbook for Tax Advisers published

On 1 December 2010, the Confédération Fiscale Européenne (CFE), as umbrella association of the European tax profession, will release the first ever European Handbook on professional affairs issues for tax advisers.

The handbook will deal with the situation in 19 European countries, covering a number of professional affairs issues, for example, professional qualification and conduct as well as professional indemnity insurance, client confidentiality and cross‐border activity. Tax professionals interested in practicing in another country can find information about professional rules and contact details in 19 “Country Sheets”. An introductory part provides an overview across the participating countries, taking a comparative approach, and explains the EU law context.

The handbook can be purchased from the CFE for € 25 plus € 5 shipping costs (discounts on shipping for larger orders available). For more information, please contact the CFE Brussels office: brusselsoffice@cfe‐eutax.org.
