Hi all

New here, and currently making a first foray into completing my EOI. I'm a tax inspector/VAT officer for HMRC in the UK, and as part of my training I studied for and was awarded a BTEC Advanced Diploma in VAT Assurance. I have read through the guide for the EOI, and my own view is that this would give me 40 points on the recognised qualifications area.

I also have an MA from Aberdeen University in General Studies however as this is not relevant to my area of work I figure nor is it relevant in terms of additional points.

I have been in my current role for 9 years, so have built up a decent level of experience, and the area that I would look to locate to is Palmerston North, who are actively recruiting Government tax professionals just now.

I have 2 young girls who I know would absolutely thrive in NZ having visited myself and fallen in love with the country. Can anyone give any advice as to my query regarding my qualifications, or any general advice on how best to proceed.

Thanks
Lexi
