The new edition has been comprehensively revised and fully updated with the latest case law, statutory and other developments, including the Finance Act 2021. The book's companion website provides bonus chapters on investment intermediaries, pensions, charities, and the UK's value added tax and stamp duties. The companion website will also supply annual updates to the print edition as well as study questions to help students navigate this complex subject. The book is designed for students taking modules in tax law in the final year of their law degree, or for more advanced courses.
