Corporate & Social Responsibility

All of the team at ETC Tax believes in giving back and supporting our community and charities through raising money or donated items. In April 2019 our staff chose the charity Home-Start and we will be supporting them throughout the year.

Here at ETC we encourage and support our team, pro bono provides opportunities for substantial and meaningful direct interaction with clients, whilst also enabling our team to further develop their skills through these experiences.

Sophie and Thomas were part of a team of professional volunteers who joined up with students from Lancaster University and University of Central Lancashire to run the NWTC to provide pro bono income tax support.

The clinic supports low-income clients by providing supervised clinics assisting with this such as:

• completing their self-assessment tax returns;
• appealing against penalties for tax returns filed late;
• explaining PAYE codes and assisting clients to get them changed if they are incorrect;
• explaining tax calculations from HMRC and appealing against these if they are incorrect
• asking HMRC to cancel tax returns it has issued if clients do not meet the requirements to complete a tax return.
