Without meaning to diminish the wealth of information in previous threads that some former contributors seem too keen to remind us of, I think that each year ought to have its own thread, and one can always reference to archived comments with ease!!!
Besides, in the previous years single thread, it is often difficult to follow discussion as both those applying for the graduate Tax Professional Development Programme and EO Compliance Officer roles seem to be talking about different things at the same time, thus, confusing anyone joining the discussion!
