In recent years, I’ve seen many accountancy firms claim to offer a tax return preparation service for temptingly low prices.
These claims always lead me to wonder how much care and attention is taken over these tax returns.

In reality, a great deal of work goes on behind the scenes that clients don’t see, and completing a tax return to a high standard takes a lot longer than you may think.
At Burness Paull, our focus is on providing you with a quality product at a fair price. Here are the ten steps I take when preparing your tax return.
If you need help to complete your tax return, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our private client team.
