Getting tax advice

We don’t have advice about tax on our website.

If you need help with tax, you can get advice from the tax charity TaxAid.

They have online advice and information about the UK tax system. If you’re on a low income, you might be able to get free help from a tax adviser.

You can get help with issues like:

• checking income tax rates

• understanding the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) system and National Insurance

• completing your tax return

• getting tax refunds

• understanding tax on pensions

The Scottish Tax Clinic provides means-tested, free, confidential advice on income tax issues to people in Scotland.

You can phone the clinic on 0345 120 3779. Lines are open on Fridays, 9am to 4pm. Or you can email taxclinic@ed.ac.uk.

TaxAid can’t help with questions about Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax. You can find out about Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax on GOV.UK.

You can also get free tax advice from Advice Direct Scotland at taxadvice.scot.
