Our Experts
Overview
Our people are dedicated professionals with experience, initiative and a successful track record in either the accountancy profession or the revenue departments. We are proud of the quality of our experts and we believe that their qualities are reflected in our friendly but professional approach to our clients.
Our Charges
You will find our fees refreshingly competitive and cost effective because we carry expertise and not high overheads. TACS was founded with the objective of providing its clients with a quality tax consultancy service at a fraction of the cost normally experienced in obtaining tax advice from traditional sources.
Our clients are now reaping the benefits of our ethos and we are committed to maintaining our market position as the cost effective tax consultancy. We operate on the basis of an hourly charge-out rate except where, for example, this would deprive clients of professional assistance. In such cases we are prepared to discuss contingency fee arrangements or agree an overall capped fee for the assignment.
Irrespective of the problem or the size of a business, TACS will be happy to talk to you.
