Ask an adviserDo I need a tax adviser based in Aberdeen?
No. We work entirely online, so you get the same adviser and the same service wherever you are in Aberdeen City. Consultations are by video or phone.
How is Scottish income tax different?
The Scottish Parliament sets the income tax rates and bands on earnings, pensions and rental income for Scottish taxpayers. There are more bands than in the rest of the UK, and the higher rates are higher. We apply them for you.
I work overseas on rotation. Am I still a Scottish taxpayer?
It depends on your UK residence status and where your main home is. We apply the Statutory Residence Test and the Scottish taxpayer rules to your situation.
How quickly can I speak to someone?
Book a time on this page and we'll confirm your consultation by email within one working day.
