In the next few weeks, we’re changing the format and name of your Vat Bulletin. As of 7 May 2009, the Vat Bulletin comes of age and becomes the Tax Bulletin. You’ll still get useful, expert advice but now you’ll get it every single week! And that’s not the only improvement...
 

In the next few weeks, we’re changing the format of the tax bulletins you’ll be receiving. You’ll still get one a week, with the most up-to-date tax tips and tools, with one very important difference...We’re pooling our expertise. Now, instead of hearing from just one tax expert, you’ll get the benefit of advice from four tax professionals. The name’s also changing: from the 4th of May, keep an eye out for Tax Bulletin, and not Tax Brief.
