Review
An excellent balance of practice and theory, without non essential details, makes this the first-choice student text for UK tax --Professor John Hasseldine, Nottingham University Business School

I would recommend this text over its rivals in the market for its brevity, clarity, coverage and practicality. --John Boggis, Tax Practitioner

Tax is a subject that is difficult to successfully encapsulate in a student text. However, Lymer & Oats have produced not only a comprehensive, accessible and accurate book, but also with an appropriate blend of approaches and material. --Professor Rebecca Boden, University of Wales Institute, cardiff

From the Publisher
The most readable textbook on the market.
