What Is A Tax Consultant?

For many people, the process of filing an income tax return is daunting. Tax laws change frequently, and many individuals and business owners are simply unaware of the myriad of rules that govern deductions, credits and reportable income. As a result, the average taxpayer often makes mistakes that can result in the underpayment or overpayment of taxes. Taxpayers may be subject to an HMRC enquiry, with possible penalties if they have underpaid their taxes. If the taxpayer overpays their taxes, they lose money they’re entitled to.

A tax consultancy is a business that provides expert advice to taxpayers. A good tax consultant understands tax laws and is able to advise strategies that minimize obligations while also reducing the chance of an enquiry that could lead to a conflict HMRC. In addition, tax consultants can prepare tax returns and other documents on behalf of their clients.
