F6 Taxation (UK)– 税法 总结篇（一）

未参加过F6考试的学员可以先参考一下历年试题，一共是5道大题，每道大题都是比较明显且独立的知识点，所以在学习和复习税法的过程中，学员们要注意知识点之间的联系和独立性。

F6的考试内容可以分为七大部分，分别是UK tax system, Income tax and national insurance contributions, Chargeable gains for individual, Tax administration for individuals, Inheritance tax, Corporation tax和Value added tax。

首先要了解的就是UK tax system。在F6的考试中，不会牵扯到很多书写的内容，但是每次考试也会有10左右的分数是留给考生们陈述的，而且部分内容也会出自UK tax system，所以，学员们也不要对UK tax system的知识掉以轻心。
