I have a bachelor of commerce degree honours in finance but did not do taxation. What can I do from here. I want to venture into taxation. how do I register for tax examinations?

You will have to either study to become a Chartered Accountant or take a PG Dip Tax Law or honours in Taxation and then register with a controlling body such as the ones listed above.

Alternatively you would need to join a tax practice.
