Tax Practice

Advising on taxation issues is not simply about "doing a job" for a client. It is about giving the best possible advice tailored to the circumstances and needs of a particular client. That means having both up to date technical knowledge to an appropriate level and the practical and sensible application of that knowledge to benefit clients.

In addition to articles published in 'Tax Adviser' Magazine, 'Trusts & Estates' Journal and the Financial Times Adviser I am a regular contributor to Readers' Forum in 'Taxation' Magazine. A small selection of my most recent published responses to Forum queries are reproduced on this page. A comprehensive list of the last three years or ten years published material is available on request.

The Forum queries represent real dilemmas posed by real advisers. They are indicative of the types of issues and difficulties regularly confronted by professional firms and their clients in practice.

My enthusiasm for practical problem solving in the sphere of taxation ensures that clients can expect the personal and consistent service of a qualified and experienced practitioner who does his level best to see the world through their eyes. Tax Practice is nothing less than the practical application of accumulated technical knowledge and experience for the real benefit of clients.
