Bridgend and Cardiff based accountants, Graham Paul have launched a free tax checklist, along with a free Tax hotline, to help people living in South Wales to dramatically reduce their tax bills. According to Graham Paul, local people earning £25,000 a year will pay about £450,025 in tax over their lifetime - while those lucky enough to earn more than £25,000 will have even higher lifetime tax bills.

Launching the tax checklist, Graham Paul partner, John Squires said:
"Everybody has to pay their fair share of tax. But no-one should pay more than their fair share. And the key to paying no more than your fair share is to make full use of the tax breaks given to you by the government. The lifetime tax savings can be enormous. For example, for someone earning £25,000 a year, shaving just 5% off their tax bills will mean lifetime tax saving of £22,501 - and that's a lot of extra money for no extra work."

The Tax checklist, which takes less than 20 minutes to complete, has been designed to help taxpayers start to identify where and how to make significant tax savings. Once it has been completed taxpayers are encouraged to speak to their Accountants. If they do not have an Accountant, or they would like a fresh perspective on their options, they can call Graham Paul’s tax hotline for a free telephone consultation.
