Help and FAQs

We have included answers to some of the most commonly asked questions in the following sections:

Tax Guides

When were they published?

We aim to publish new editions each tax year. The publication date of each book is listed clearly.

Are they easy to read?

We take pride in publishing plain English tax guides that contain lots of easy to follow examples.

Will they help me save tax?

All of our tax guides are littered with tax planning tips to help you legally reduce your tax bill. Naturally we can never guarantee to save you tax as everyone's situation is different. (Always steer clear of any tax adviser who guarantees to save you tax!) We do, however, go to great lengths to provide details of every conceivable tax saving opportunity.

How long are they?

Most of our guides are well over 100 pages in length, some are over 300 pages.

Who writes them?

All of our tax guides are written by experienced tax writers. Carl Bayley, the author of some of our most popular guides, is the former Chairman of the Tax Faculty at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

Are the printed tax guides proper books?

Absolutely. All of our tax guides are printed and bound by a professional book printer. You will also be able to download a free PDF copy of any guides purchased.

What if I'm not happy with my book?

We'll refund it, no questions asked. We ask that any books returned are sent back within 14 days from the date received, and in the condition in which they were delivered. Buyers are responsible for any return postage costs.

For electronic only purchases, you have 14 days from date of purchase within which to request cancellation if you are not happy with your guide.
