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

Tax us a subject that is difficult to successfully encapsulate in a student text. However, Andy Lymer and Lynne Oats have produced not only a comprehensive, accessible and accurate book, but also one with an apporpriate blend of approaches and materials. --Professor Rebecca Boden, University of Wales Institute, Cardiff

This is one of those rare cases where 'less is more' in a tax text. I would recommend this text over its rivals in the market for its brevitym clarity, coverage and practicality. --John Boggis, Tax Practitioner

Professor Rebecca Boden, University of the West of England

Excellent Book - Easy to read
I bought the book a couple of weeks ago. I love it. The book is very easy to read and it covers comprehensive subjects. It not only covers the history of the UK taxations but it also explain how the UK tax such as Income Tax, Corporation Tax and Capital Gain Tax works. It is highly recommended to any student who has interest to UK tax.
