Ease your tax headache with the help of a soothing cuppa and a sympathetic ear.

That's the offer from the Birmingham office of international accountancy firm Mazars.

It is putting on a tea and tax health check day on Wednesday, November 23, at the Greswolde Hotel, Knowle.

Tax partner Ann Bibby said: "Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with one of our tax experts on a confidential no obligation basis, to explore tax planning opportunities, a second opinion, reassurance on a situation, or just a general chat about the current tax environment."

It comes in the wake of revelations that HM Revenue & Customs is writing to over seven million taxpayers to let them know that the tax they paid in 2010/11 was wrong. As many as one in six people may be affected.

Ms Bibby went on: "The Chartered Institute of Taxation is advising people to carefully check any letters they receive from HMRC and we can step in to help with their specific circumstances or concerns."

Appointments can be made via Sheila Quigley on 0121 232 9589 or sheila.quigley@mazars.co.uk.
