A tax
adviser can be a member of the Chartered Institute of
Taxation or the Association of Taxation Technicians. They
will have received formal training in taxation matters and
can use the letters ATII or ATT after their name. Tax
advisers can also be qualified accountants who have
undertaken formal training. They will be a member of one of
the accounting bodies and will have the letters ACA, FCA,
CA, ACCA or FCCA after their name.
However, anybody can become a tax adviser: there is no
statutory authority which governs tax advice. You should
always request information about a tax adviser's background
and experience before instructing them to deal with your tax
affairs.
Appropriately qualified people to consider include: former
tax inspectors, or people who have passed the Chartered
Institute of Taxation or Association of Taxation Technicians
examinations. These individuals can use the letters ATII,
FTII or ATT after their name.
A qualified tax adviser will be able to:
Prepare your tax return, calculate your liability and deal
with any Inland Revenue enquiries.
Prepare accounts for sole traders and partnerships.
Give tax-planning advice.
Give advice for specialist areas of taxation that have
complex
legislation.
Tax advisers will charge per hour or a pre-arranged flat
fee.
