Tax Manager at Balfour + Manson LLP
Jim McMahon
Tax Manager
I started my tax career with HMRC or Inland Revenue as it was back then, and spent many years there before branching out into private practice and industry before joining Balfour+Manson in October 2000. I head up the Tax department dealing with the day to day tax issues that clients face. The experience gained from having been involved in tax for over 43 years enables me to advise on a wide range of tax issues, ranging from the completion of tax returns to more complex investigation cases. Whilst the main focus of my work is on personal tax, the knowledge gathered over time enables me to advise on a variety of taxes. My previous experience with HMRC, latterly doing accounts investigations, gives me an insight into how HMRC think and operate which can often be invaluable, particularly in disputes with HMRC. I also operate a complete computerised payroll system for clients and, in addition to dealing with the calculation and payment of wages, we handle all regulatory requirements associated with running a payroll including the provision of forms, filing of all records online under the RTI system, pension provision under Automatic Enrolment where required, and Pension Regulator reporting.

Kind assistance provided to me by Mr. Jim McMahon, Tax Manager at Balfour+Manson Solicitors LLP
At Balfour+Manson Solicitors ( Edinburgh ), consummate specialist legal expertise is a given . .. What was extraordinary about the recent occasion on which Mr. McMahon assisted me as a private client with a tax matter however was both the speed with which he assisted me, plus his immediate grasp of the matter's vital importance to me along with my obvious inability to solve it myself in any other way, and lastly his kindness and generosity with the time and personal attention he invested on resolving the matter . As a result the question is now fully resolved and I have complete peace of mind over the matter once again . I could not recommend him or the Firm in general highly enough . My heartfelt thanks once again to him, and to every other fellow-member of staff of his at the Firm who has also assisted me recently as well .
