As a firm mytaxadviser is committed to acting in a socially responsible manner. We understand that we have a collective responsibility to the wider community and the environment around us. Our CSR programme uses the skills and time of our people to support disadvantaged communities, through the provision of practical help and financial support.
ACCESS TO TAX ADVICE
The tax system has become much more complex for those on low income and the demand for help and advice has grown as a result. We believe we have a role to play in promoting fairer access to advice by providing free assistance to disadvantaged communities and to charitable organisations. Partners and advisers across the firm regularly volunteer to undertake pro bono work to a range of charities and community groups.
Through our community work, we are able to help non-profit organisations and individuals who may not otherwise have access to tax advice. The lack of advice could affect people on low income significantly. The tax rules are often difficult to understand and navigate. It is not surprising that some people have been overpaying tax for years or penalised for non-compliance. We helped vulnerable individual in dealing with late filing penalties as well as reclaiming overpaid tax for example.
Charity Partnership
Contributing our time and skills is a powerful way to positively impact society. We therefore believe it is important to engage in the challenges of the communities in which we live and work. Building on our commitment to building a better world, we use our skills for many charitable causes from developing strategic plans for social enterprises, to hosting skills-building workshops for not-for-profit leaders, as well as serving as trustees for charitable organisations.
Our purpose is to deliver clarity in a changing world, by giving our charity partners straightforward guidance and by creating confidence in our communities. As a firm that is diverse and inclusive, we are proud to have built extremely successful partnership with many non-profit organisations over the years. We will continue to work with other charities around us, helping them to become more resilient and effective in the way they deliver their services.
“The advice and support we received not only saves us a significant sum in professional fees, but the value to us is much greater in that it gives us confidence knowing that the project has a suitable governance structure.””
