Everything you need to know about saving tax – in 15 minutes a month – for just £8
The Schmidt Tax Report, is published monthly by Alan Pink, was founded in 1991 and is read by entrepreneurs, investors, and business decision makers, as well as by accountants, solicitors, financial advisors and other professionals including tax consultants (who say they find it a useful aide memoire).
Its primary objective is to explain (in plain English and without technical jargon) how you can, without behaving in an unethical way, legally save a substantial amount of tax. It also contains a great deal of other valuable information pertaining to tax, personal finance and property.
One of the key benefits of The Schmidt Tax Report is that if you wanted to you could speed-read it in about 15 minutes a month. However, you may find yourself spending much longer studying it as it is a remarkably enjoyable read. Alan (our editor) and his colleagues manage to make even the driest subject fascinating. The newsletter proves that saving tax need not be tedious or time consuming.
