Tony Shanks ATT

Tony Shanks is an editor at Tax Rebate Services, the independent online resource that has helped UK taxpayers understand their tax and claim HMRC refunds since 2011. As a member of the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT), he brings qualified tax knowledge to the content he reviews.

His focus is on making tax easier to understand. Working alongside the wider editorial team, which between them holds over 25 years of qualified tax experience, Tony helps make sure the guides, FAQs and calculators on the site are accurate, up to date and genuinely useful.

From PAYE employees checking whether they are owed a rebate, to sole traders and limited companies dealing with Self Assessment, his work is built on a simple idea: people make better financial decisions when the information in front of them is clear, current and trustworthy.

Areas of focus

• Income tax, tax rebates and HMRC refund claims
• Self Assessment tax returns for individuals and the self-employed
• PAYE, tax codes and employment-related tax relief
• Work expenses — uniform, mileage, tools and professional fees
• Tax guidance for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies
