It is an excellent aid to support a first course in tax, or as a general introduction to this topic. Written in an accessible style with many examples, activities and questions throughout, this textbook gives the reader a thorough understanding of the UK's taxation principles and current practices. The companion website provides additional questions and answers, links to other tax materials available online and commentary on tax developments as they occur throughout the year. It includes features such as: fully updated and revised to include the Finance Act 2008; designed to support independent or classroom study; a glossary of key terms and concepts; more than 100 useful questions and mini case studies; and a comprehensive package of further materials available for purchasers from the website including many extra exam and practice questions, with answers. It is ideal for students studying UK tax for the first time for a degree course or for professional tax examinations for ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, ICAS, ATT etc.
