Here is a selection of the types of guides and checklists that you will find on this site. Each guide is "Maintained", this means that our professionally qualified editorial staff (we are FCA, ACCA, CTA, ATT), trawl the tax world on a daily basis. When we find something interesting and new that is not in one of our guides we update them for you.

For directors, employers and employees:

Directors' loan accounts: toolkit
Although HMRC do a version of this, we are told that this is much better and much easier to use (we do lots more like this).

Christmas parties and gifts
Everyone likes this guide because it is easy to read. It shows you "At a glance" and then has Overview, FAQs and links to the small print.

Tax-free benefits and perks
A note with a checklist: "At a glance".

Starting in business

Sole trader or company? Key tax & legal differences
A handy checklist summarising the issues.

Goodwill & incorporation: tax issues
This is a short note considering the tax consequences of overvaluing goodwill and clearance procedures. We have recently added Top Tips and Tax Traps.

Ceasing trading

Insolvency FAQs for directors

New guides and checklists are added and updated on this database on a daily basis.

Still unsure?

Wouldn’t it be great and think how much TIME it would SAVE you if someone:

  • READ all the latest tax news, case decisions, new legislation and articles in tax and then summarised it for you?
  • Only alerted you to things that are RELEVANT to you?

How about if that someone also:

  • Updated those summaries in REAL TIME for you
  • ADDED examples, planning points, toolkits and calculators, and
  • Linked all that information together and also provided you with CPD?

Thousands of firms of accountants and advisers are already using www.rossmartin.co.uk as their primary TAX resource.

At a cost of just over £1.40 per day, it’s a no brainer: FREE up your MIND and your TIME (and your wallet).

And...we run our Virtual Tax Partner helpline, if you need to 'phone a friend'.
