This study explored accredited tax practitioners' ethical sensitivity and moral reasoning when faced with ethical dilemmas. The study aimed to identify the keys to navigating
such difficulties. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology, utilizing interviews and thematic analysis to examine the experiences and perspectives of accredited tax practitioners. The study found that tax practitioners encounter ethical dilemmas when their obligations to
