Report
Delighted with the overall service and result Charles delivered! We were hit with a capital gains request on a previous property that we had owned but sold quickly due to personal / work related circumstances. We had at the time of buying and selling the property taken advice from another accountant firm. After feeling no confidence in the direction suggested we discussed our concerns with the Tax Faculty, and it became apparent that the HMRC knowledge as well as level of experience would not only reduce the complexity of the situation but also take ownership of our case and deliver a positive financial result. I would highly recommend!

I contacted The Tax Faculty LLP as I needed help with Capital Gains Tax on a property I was selling. I spoke with Charles who I found to be friendly, helpful, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything in plain language, no jargon! He prepared and submitted the CGT return to HMRC on my behalf which took away all the worry and anxiety of getting things right when dealing directly with HMRC. I cant thank him enough for the prompt and courteous service.

I felt totally at ease after contacting Charles Tateson regarding a CGT matter. Not being familiar with tax matters, it was great to have someone with Charles's HMRC background handling matters. Nothing was too much trouble for Charles and the whole transaction went very smoothly, with Charles handling any wrinkles or challenges that arose.

I have the utmost praise for The Tax Faculty for their speed and efficiency in the handling of CGT payable following the sale of my rental property. Charles Tateson, Managing Director was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is an ex senior HMRC professional with extensive historical expertise and knowledge of CGT and he made the process totally stress free for me. I am more than happy to recommend Charles to anyone in the future. Thank you Charles.

My sister and I recently sold our parents bungalow. Although we were both aware we had to pay Capital Gains Tax we were clueless about how much it would be. Charles was very kind and patient with us two elderly ladies and we are both delighted with the advice and service we received. We have no hesitation in recommending Charles to anyone who needs help in such matters.
