How to Read The Primer For The Enrolled Agent Exam: －2020Edition－ DOC
Do you know that there is a shortage of tax talent now, as never before? In the latest news, the Trump tax reform (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) is brand new in the United States. In other OECD countries, as global tax frameworks such as DST (Digital Service Tax) and BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) are changing dramatically, responding to the demands of new rules. The demand for jobs related to international taxation is increasing rapidly in order to recruit tax talent. As you can see if you actually register on the job serch site, large companies that are developing multinationals are constantly recruiting.In such a Japanese job market, which is overwhelmingly advantageous for job seekers, the EA qualification can show signaling that you have English and tax skills. It works very well for job seekers during document screening and interviews. In particular, if you already have accounting experience at a business company etc, you can challenge the international tax field based on the past accounting experience, and having an EA qualification gives you a strong weapon to appeal for your potential (It is natural that Japanese tax accountants, accountants, and USCPA can already appeal with double licensing, so I will not mention it here.)Certainly, in the consulting company such as BIG4, it is very difficult for the EA to do it alone（EA can be replaced by lawyers and CPA）. However if you worked at a business company, you can challenge the international tax field even if you have no experience so far, so it can be said that combinations an accounting with a tax career by the EA will further increase the rarity in the future job market (Author experienced). If you are a beginner of English, it will take at least three years to pass the CPA exam, but if you do your best you can get the EA exam in one year. Also, it is an effective qualification that you can acquire English skills. Get EA qualification quickly and get the opportunity to change jobs for stepping up (or transfer to your tax office for example) while the job market is hot. I hope this book will help you as a primer.Excerpt from "Introduction"
