Tax Tip:
The amount of personal pension contributions you pay need not be restricted by your income for the current tax year. You can pay up to £3,600 gross in any year and choose the income from one year in the last five to calculate the maximum pension contribution permitted. |

On qualification as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG I moved to the medium sized firm of Robson Rhodes to pursue my interest in taxation, where I qualified as a Chartered Tax Adviser in 1991.
While at Robson Rhodes I found time to study for an MBA at the University of East Anglia and was awarded the masters degree with distinction in 1996. The research for my MBA thesis (The Careers of Female Chartered Accountants) encouraged me to change my career direction and become a writer, initially working for the weekly paper Accountancy Age.
Following a spell back in practice I found my ideal job as a Tax Editor for Thomson Tax, a division of Gee Publishing. Regrettably in 2000 Gee prematurely canned the Thomson Tax Library, a full tax library on CD-Rom, and I was set free to pursue my freelance career.
