Book Descriptions:

Written by one of the country's leading tax writers, this edition of the highly successful UnderstandTax for Small Businesses is aimed at small businesses and fills a conspicuous gap in the market. Following the business lifecycle, it provides highly relevant information and advice on the real events that business people experience, whether self-employed or running a company.

An appendix provides a matrix for readers to complete with details of the new tax rates following each Finance Act, together with details of where this information can be sourced.
