TAX ADVICE WEEK is being held by the Chartered Institute of Taxation between Monday 16 and Friday 20 October. Building on the success of last September's CTA day, this week-long event is the first of its kind put on by the Institute. In brief, the aims are to raise awareness about all taxpayers' need for tax advice, including those on low incomes. The idea is also to increase people's understanding of tax.
