Quick answer

A Tax Position Review is a fixed-fee written analysis of a specific tax question on your own facts — for example whether to incorporate a property portfolio, how a planned disposal will be taxed, or how a relocation affects your UK position. You receive a clear written document setting out the position, the risks, and your recommended next steps, normally within 3–5 working days, from £500. It is the fastest way to get a definitive, actionable answer without committing to an open-ended advisory engagement.

Why a fixed-fee review

Most people who contact a tax adviser don’t want an open-ended relationship — they want a clear answer to a specific question they can act on. “Should I incorporate?” “How much tax will this sale cost me?” “Does moving to Dubai end my UK tax exposure?” These are answerable questions, but the answer depends entirely on your own circumstances, and a quick reply off the cuff isn’t something you should rely on for a decision worth thousands of pounds.

The Tax Position Review closes that gap. It gives you a senior, written answer — grounded in your actual facts, properly reasoned, and yours to keep — for a fixed fee agreed before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice, no commitment beyond the piece itself.

What’s included

Every review is built around your specific question. A typical review delivers:

🔍

Your situation analysed

We work from your actual facts and figures — not a generic position. The review reflects your numbers, your structure and your objectives.

📄

The position, in writing

A clear written document setting out the tax treatment, the relevant rules, and how they apply to you — referenced and defensible.

⚠️

The risks & trade-offs

The pitfalls most people miss, where HMRC scrutiny sits, and the trade-offs between the realistic options open to you.

➡️

Your recommended next steps

A clear, prioritised set of actions — what to do, in what order, and what (if anything) needs a fuller engagement to implement.

How it works

  • Free discovery call first. We confirm your question is a good fit for a fixed-fee review and agree the exact scope and price before anything begins.
  • Fixed fee agreed upfront — from £500. The price depends on the complexity of the question. You approve it before any work starts. No hourly billing.
  • Onboarding & AML. We complete our standard client checks (identity and, for companies, beneficial ownership) — usually within minutes, digitally.
  • Your written review, in 3–5 working days. A document you can read, keep, share with your other advisers, and act on.
  • Credited if you proceed. If the review leads to a fuller advisory or implementation engagement, the review fee is credited against it.

Who this is right for

The right fit:

  • You have a specific, answerable tax question
  • You want a written answer you can rely on and act on
  • Property: incorporation, SDLT, CGT or Section 24 modelling on your numbers
  • A planned transaction, disposal or restructure you want costed
  • A UK–UAE relocation or residence question on your facts
  • You want clarity before committing to a fuller engagement

Not the right fit:

  • Ongoing compliance — annual accounts, CT600, VAT returns (see our services)
  • A broad “review everything” brief with no defined question
  • Mid-market businesses needing a standing tax function (see Outsourced Head of Tax)
  • Implementation work — the review tells you what to do; implementing it is a separate engagement
  • General questions answerable on a free discovery call

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do I get?
+
A written document analysing your specific tax question on your own facts — setting out the tax position, the relevant rules, the risks and trade-offs, and your recommended next steps. It is written to be read and acted on, and it is yours to keep and share with your other advisers.
How much does it cost?
+
From £500, fixed and agreed before any work begins. The exact fee depends on the complexity of the question — a straightforward single-issue review sits at the lower end; multi-part questions involving several taxes or entities are quoted higher. You always approve the fixed fee upfront on the discovery call. No hourly billing.
How long does it take?
+
Typically 3–5 working days from the point your onboarding is complete and we have the facts we need. Urgent reviews can often be turned around faster — mention any deadline on the discovery call.
What kinds of questions suit a Tax Position Review?
+
Defined, answerable questions. Common ones: whether to incorporate a property portfolio; the SDLT, CGT or Section 24 impact of a planned move on your numbers; how a business sale or restructure will be taxed; whether a UK–UAE relocation ends your UK exposure; or how a specific transaction should be structured. If your question is broader or open-ended, we will say so on the call and suggest the right route.
Is the discovery call really free — and how is it different?
+
Yes, completely free and no obligation. The call is to understand your situation, confirm a fixed-fee review is the right fit, and agree the scope and price. It gives you general clarity and a clear next step. The applied answer on your specific facts — the part you can rely on and act on — is the written review itself, which follows under engagement.
Does the fee count towards further work?
+
Yes. If the review leads to a fuller advisory or implementation engagement, the review fee is credited against it — so you are never paying twice for the same thinking.
Who prepares the review?
+
Reviews are prepared by Shamim Bhuiyan FCCA CTA — a Chartered Tax Adviser (the UK's highest tax qualification) and Chartered Certified Accountant, with an active Head of Tax — Europe role at a major digital infrastructure operator. You are getting senior judgement, not a junior's first draft.
What do you need from me to start?
+
After the discovery call: completion of our quick digital AML check, and the relevant facts and figures for your question (for example property values and mortgages for an incorporation review, or income and day-count details for a residence question). We will tell you exactly what is needed before you commit.
