New tax planning guide published

Date: 12th September 2008

Zurich has published a new guide that offers advisers and accountants a single source of reference for all aspects of tax planning.

This latest edition of Zurich's tax guide has been fully revised and updated for 2008/9 and should help small businesses obtain a complete overview of the UK tax landscape.

It could also be used by advisers to make sure they are able to provide help to their clients on tax issues.

Specifically, the new guide provides detailed information on many aspects of tax planning, including self employment, trusts, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and VAT.

What's more, it features practical advice on self-assessment, pension planning, stamp duty and property investment.

Paul Wright, Zurich UK Life's investment management director, said: "Taxation is a complex area and one which people often fail to address in sufficient detail.

"This latest edition of the Zurich Tax Handbook is designed to simplify the subject, helping advisers and their clients understand the UK tax system and make tax savings where possible."
