About Accounting Tax Advisor

Accounting Tax Advisor is a UK blog sharing plain-English guides to tax, accounting and finance. Our aim is to make the rules easier to understand, so sole traders, small businesses and anyone managing their own money can feel more confident.

What is Accounting Tax Advisor?

Accounting Tax Advisor is a UK tax, accounting and finance blog. It publishes plain-English guides that explain UK tax and accounting rules step by step, so readers can understand what applies to them and what to do next. The guides are written for readers, not for accountants: no knowledge is assumed, and each guide explains the terms it uses.

Who the guides are for

The guides are for anyone who has to deal with UK tax or keep their own books. That includes self-employed people, sole traders, landlords with rental income, limited companies and their directors, and employees who want to understand their tax code, payslips and allowances.

What we cover

The guides cover the topics that come up most often in UK tax and accounting: Self Assessment, VAT, Corporation Tax, PAYE, National Insurance, bookkeeping, and allowances and reliefs. Each guide focuses on one topic, so you can find the answer to a specific question without reading about everything else.

How the content is prepared

Every guide is checked against GOV.UK and HMRC guidance before it is published. Tax rules, rates and thresholds change over time, so guides are updated when the rules change, and a guide that covers a rule that is changing says so and explains what is changing and when.

Please note

The guides on Accounting Tax Advisor are general information about UK tax, accounting and finance. They are not personal tax advice, and they are not a substitute for advice about your own circumstances. If you are unsure about a decision that affects your tax, consider speaking to a qualified adviser about your own situation.
