I was given very clear and helpful advice. The person who dealt with my queries was generous with his time and happy to go over things with me. The fees charged were totally affordable and all in all I can recommend the Tax Faculty for excellent service and value for money.

I came across Charles and the Tax Faculty when researching the internet for the best way to reduce capital gains tax. It really only took me on phone call which got straight through to him and we discussed my situation. within a few minuets he had a plan and was able to support this with the relevant tax rulings, he was able to do this due to his extensive knowledge of these issues gained when working for HMRC!!

With in a few days I received a comprehensive report and calculations with clear instructions on what to do next. During this time I spoke to him several times and each time he took the time to answer my questions in full. Charles really understood the situation and I also felt like his only client as we were able to pick up each time from where we left off with no problems. I have already recommended Charles to a friend who may soon be in a similar CGT position.

I needed some professional advice on a Capital Gains Tax matter and found The Tax Faculty LLP on an internet search. I'm so glad I did because the service that I received from Charles was outstanding. His attention to detail was superb and he explored every avenue in his research before submitting his report to me in writing. This was all carried out for a fee which Charles told me on our first telephone conversation. I received regular updates from Charles throughout the process, so I knew exactly how it was progressing. I'd recommend The Tax Faculty LLP to anyone.

Last year, we employed The Tax Faculty to assist us with a complicated, time-limited capital gains assessment. The company representative was excellent - he helped us to complete the relevant online assessment and paperwork in a professional, efficient and timely manner. It was a welcome relief to get the matter sorted out so quickly and effectively. I have no hesitation in recommending this company unreservedly.

When I first spoke to Charles to explain my personal situation he made me feel at ease and applied no pressure for me to buy any service. In fact he very kindly took some time out of his busy day to provide some initial free advice and I then signed up for further guidance and a comprehensive tax report. Knowing how much experience Charles has really did give me all the reassurance I needed and he completed the request very quickly and at a great price. A very friendly and efficient service. Thank you.
