This book not right for your course?

Why not get a copy of the sister text to this book - Taxation: incorporating the 2025 Finance Act by Ricky Tutin & Nicky Thomas (now in its 43rd edition) - also available as an ebook here.

This is by far the longest standing tax textbook covering the details of the UK tax system. It is particularly suitable for students following accredited course syllabi at Universities or directly studying for professional exams (i.e. those with exemptions for CIOT, ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, ICAS etc. membership) - however, its huge range of questions and answers will be a priceless supplement for all undergraduate university courses.
