Taxation practice should be framed as exam preparation, not personal tax advice. Candidate questions should test how to identify the taxable issue, relevant party, timing, planning trade-off, documentation need, and communication risk.
| Weak area | Better drill type |
|---|---|
| Individual versus business issue confusion | Short cases that force you to identify whose tax consequence is being tested. |
| Timing mistakes | Prompts that separate current-year recognition, deferral, instalments, and filing obligations. |
| Planning trade-off misses | Scenario questions where the best answer balances tax result, cash flow, and risk. |
| Communication misses | Client-facing explanations that avoid overpromising or ignoring uncertainty. |
