Ask an adviserDo I need a tax adviser based in Edinburgh?
No. We work entirely online, so you get the same adviser and the same service wherever you are in City of Edinburgh. 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.
Does the Scottish higher rate affect my pension tax relief?
Yes. Scottish taxpayers paying above the basic rate may be able to claim extra relief on personal pension contributions through Self Assessment.
How quickly can I speak to someone?
