Product Description
Product Description
Some 31 million people in the UK now pay income tax - more than £110 billion in total - and the number paying higher-rate tax has increased by nearly a half in just five years. Everyone wants to pay as little tax as possible and no-one wants to run into trouble with the tax man - a risk that the 9 million who complete self-assessment tax returns run every year if they fill things in wrongly or send their return in late. Fines for late or incorrect returns run at over £2 million a year, and the tax man is getting stricter in enforcing the rules. Under Gordon Brown the tax system has become increasingly complicated, with many new changes every year, and there have been huge problems with the tax credit system he introduced. Without help it's difficult to keep up - and where tax is concerned, it pays to be on top of your affairs. This leading, well-established guide, written in clear, non-technical and jargon-free English enables you to do just that by:* Providing a complete run down on how the tax system works* Advising on how to plan your tax affairs efficiently* Outlining all the latest budget changes and their effects* Showing you how to fill in your tax return* Giving you 120 tax-planning and tax-saving hints

What can one say about a Tax Guide? If you know your way around taxes this won't help you much, but there are a few gems in there for those who are only partially aware of the Tax laws.
I'd say if you've never read one of these then you really ought to do so. The cost is little and the time it takes will be less than you expect. All you need to do is find one thing that you can use and it will have paid for itself many times over and you can bore all your friends with your new-found knowledge of tax avoidance (avoidance is ok, evasion is not!). Even if you don't find anything to increase your wealth you will know this for sure and will probably sleep better knowing the taxman is taking only what is due.
This is the first tax guide I have read, and I found it easy to follow, with examples helping explain things. Competitor guides may be worth looking at to ensure you're getting full information once you've pinned down whatever it is you need to learn more about. A worthy read.

A very handy sized guide to tax. Helped me to understand better the different tax rates, allowances etc to enable me to complete my tax return on time. Great for reference.

This is a good book that puts you on the right path to understanding the tax system. I would recommend it but remember the system is changing all the time.

If you want to read this then presumably you don't have an accountant or think that your accountant charges too much and this would be a good start in trying to ditch him or her. Read more
