For a limited period there is no charge for using the site or for registering with us to receive our unique weekly email tax update – written specifically for non-tax specialist accountants.
You simply pay the tax adviser of your choice for the advice they provide and the work they do for you. Alternatively you can use the Tax Advice Helpline to access speedy straightforward telephone advice. You'll need to pay for this in advance - it's just under £30 incl VAT - so have your credit or debit card to hand when you call.
The website contains full profiles for each of our tax adviser members. We have also just introduced the facility for users to provide feedback and ratings on the advisers and their work. This will take time to build up!

Tax newsletter 4 Sept 2008
The summer holidays are over for most of us, but there are two items of news this week that have a holiday theme: overseas holiday homes purchased through a company and the new stamp duty ‘holiday’. We also want to draw your attention to the joint professional bodies' new guidance on tax engagement letters - propduced by a working party of which I was the Chairman.
This article arises from the writers observations on a couple of recent cases and it would be easy to fall foul of a negligence claim if you don't take proper care and attention. There is a suspicion that HMRC are trying to cut corners to get through all the "golden" information they hold and not apply the law as it was intended. They should not be allowed....and YOU are at risk
The scenario goes -
" HMRC hold information that you have held one or more offshore bank accounts...you did not avail yourself of the ODF... please supply the following... statements for all offshore bank accounts held at any time in the last 6 years"
Have you received a letter like this and what should you do? OK don't panic it will probably be directed at one of your clients unless you have been unwise enough to invest outside switzerland/ panama /leichtenstein etc. More probably this article might set you thinking what you have already done????
