Just £50 per unit (a unit is 15 minutes or part thereof) and is ideal for those quick queries or a brief second opinion when you want to be sure you are giving your clients best advice.

If they were doctors they would be practising in Harley Street! The people behind TaxAction and all of the TaxAction consultants are the best of the best with many well known tax giants on the team. TaxAction consultants are regarded as the leading authorities in their area of specialism - they represent clients in the tax tribunals, write tax text books and are highly sought after as specialist tax advisers. They include Chartered Tax Advisers, Trusts and Estates Practitioners and Senior ex-HMRC Inspectors. TaxAction not only provides expert tax advice and support but understands how important great customer service is and that it is crucial to offer a clear pricing structure and guarantees on quality and timely delivery of advice.

Many tax problems require more than a quick call and to cater for more complex and high value tax issues we offer 
TaxAction Advantage.  Our expert consultants offer written reports, second opinions, attendance at HMRC meetings, drafting of complex tax documents and tribunal representation.  Again, charges are made on the basis of 15 minute units at a rate of £70 per unit or part thereof.  Consulting with tax experts on complex tax issues usually carries a premium price-tag with many specialist tax advisers and lawyers charging well over £300 per hour for even basic advice.  As you can see, TaxAction's fees are highly competitive.

TaxAction consultants will, wherever possible, offer a guaranteed fixed fee to give you the tax support you request. This could be a fixed fee for writing a report, researching a particular tax issue for you, designing a share option scheme or even representing you or your client at a tax tribunal. Of course if your brief changes then fees will need to be discussed again but we will always try to offer you certainty over fees.

Yes - TaxAction understands that some tax problems are so complex, high value or urgent that a premium fee is appropriate. Your client might have hundreds of thousands of pounds riding on a successful outcome with an HMRC dispute or need urgent tax support on a complex or very pressing matter. TaxAction consultants will be happy to "drop everything" to help you and will agree a value-based fee in advance. In some cases a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) may be offered where a higher fee is charged for a successful outcome. Either way TaxAction provides specialist tax advice at very competitive rates.

Yes! If we are advising you and for any reason need to meet with or speak to your own client we undertake, as professional advisers bound by strict codes of ethics, never to undermine your relationship with your client or solicit them.

Yes. We have the cream of the crop and specialists in all areas of tax.

TaxAction understands that timely delivery is really important so wherever possible we will agree a realistic deadline with you. As long as you do not change the brief your report, second opinion or tax document will be delivered within the deadline agreed. If it is not, and the fault is ours, then we will reduce our fee by 50%. Does your current tax support network offer this?

TaxAction consultants are experts but if you do have a problem over quality we will look into the matter and if we have fallen short of our high standards we will waive the fee completely. Does your current tax support network offer that safeguard?
