Tax Tip:
Are you claiming back the correct amount of VAT on your purchases? Some large stores now treat 2.5% of the price you pay as a charge for paying by credit card, leaving only 97.5% of the total cost bearing VAT. Check your receipts carefully or you could be in trouble with the VATman.

As Technical Editor

I have worked as a technical tax editor in the following areas:

  • written new commentary on tax legislation as it is published;
  • edited commentary to include new chapters, previously written 'new developments', correct hyper-links and update legislative references;and
  • edited the Taxes Acts to incorporate amendments made by the new Finance Acts.
Commentary
The UK Taxes Acts are written in a very specialised language which I translate into plain English to enable the ordinary taxpayer to understand the tax law.
Legislation
Each new Finance Act contains instructions to amend or delete (repeal) the text of earlier Acts. I edit the text of the Taxes Acts using these precise instructions and add footnotes in the form of history notes and cross references which allow the reader to trace how the legislation has been altered.
Electronic work
I am familiar with Standard General Mark Up Language (SGML) and I am happy to work with files containing SGML tags. I have considerable experience using 'Adept Editor' to manipulate text for electronic publishing.
