Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How many individuals are involved in the Team category?
   Each team must consist of four (4) full-time students who are enrolled in an undergraduate degree programme at the same university, university college, or college.
2. Am I allowed to join both categories?
   Yes, we do not limit Challengers from joining both of the categories.

   There is no limit.
4. Are full time students doing a professional degree (e.g. ACCA) eligible to register?
   Yes, as long as the student is registered as a full-time student in a college, university college or university, they are eligible to register.
5. Most students in private universities pursue 3+0 accountancy programmes, whereby they study foreign tax (not Malaysian tax) and may find it difficult to participate in the Deloitte Tax Challenge. Will the questions in the Challenge only cover Malaysian aspects?
   The Deloitte Tax Challenge is open to all students who are pursuing full-time undergraduate programmes. Though the questions are based on Malaysian tax laws, students who are studying foreign tax laws are also encouraged to join the competition, as the primary principles of tax are similar. You may want to start by going through past years questions to get a better idea.
