UK Taxation: A Simplified Guide for Students: Finance Act 2020 Edition

UK Taxation for Students can be used either on its own or in conjunction with other texts. It is, however, completely self-contained. This book is written in a user-friendly manner. It intersperses numerous examples throughout the text designed to illustrate particular points, and it assumes absolutely no prior knowledge about UK taxation. It covers the five main UK taxes, namely: income tax (paid by individuals); capital gains tax (paid by individuals); corporation tax (paid by companies); value added tax (levied on consumers by businesses); and inheritance tax (normally payable on the death of an individual). National Insurance Contributions are also included. Although this book is primarily aimed at students studying at undergraduate level, these are the taxes which typically form the core of the syllabuses for most of the UK's professional examinations in taxation.
