Frequently Asked Questions

Why Claritax Books?

Since 2011, we have been publishing technical, high quality tax commentary, all written by authors with practical, real-world experience, including some of the best known tax barristers, solicitors and other tax specialists, including Keith Gordon, David Pett, Katherine Bullock, Ximena Montes Manzano, Ray Chidell, David Kirk and many others. Our works offer insights into complex technical areas, while their clarity of writing and presentation help you find answers quickly and easily.

Do you provide hard copy or digital content?

Our tax commentary is now published exclusively on Claritax Digital. We are no longer publishing hard copy books as our digital platform provides a far improved user experience.

Is your platform just an ebook reader?

No, it is a fully functioning website, designed from the ground up to make our content easy to use. As one person commented on taking out a trial, “this looks totally different to what I had thought / feared”. Another stated that “having spent a bit of time going through your online CGT manual I’m very impressed”. But don’t take our word for it – you can try it out for yourself (see below).

How do I access your digital content?

Access to our digital content is on a subscription basis. All subscriptions are on an open-ended basis but with a minimum commitment of just one year (one annual payment or four quarterly payments).

We offer the following subscription options:

• Individual books (£12 per month)
• Specialist Tax Library – five books of your choice (£42 per month);
• Core Tax Library – eight books of your choice (£65 per month); or
• Complete Tax Library – around 30 titles (£99 per month).

Subscribers to the Complete Tax Library automatically gain access to all new digital titles as they are added.

We also have a small number of digital bundles (e.g. Capital Allowances and A-Z of Plant & Machinery available for £20 per month).

Can I take out a trial?

Yes, if you would like to take out a trial for up to 14 days, please email digital@claritaxbooks.com from a work email address.

Can I write for you?

We are always pleased to hear from potential new authors. The key qualities you will need are an in-depth, practical knowledge of at least one area of UK tax (more than just a general knowledge of a broad area of tax) and an ability to share your expertise clearly. Please contact Ray in the first instance.

What about social responsibility?

As a company, we support the work of Mary’s Meals, a charity that provides school meals to some of the world’s poorest children.

Do you also run a free-to-use, authoritative tax news website that is regularly updated with important developments in the world of tax?

Yes, we do! Visit www.claritaxnews.com to find out more. This popular resource, used by UK firms of all sizes from Big 4 to sole practitioners, also has an optional weekly email update, which is again free of charge.
