At MJS Tax, we live and breathe tax. We are industry-recognised experts in what we do, helping you to reduce your tax burden in a simple, professional and stress-free way.
Founded and led by Michael Brownsdon, we’ve developed innovative valuation methodologies over 14 years of practice. We are unique in our combination of property and tax knowledge, allowing us to find savings others can’t.
Through use of technology and an intricate knowledge of the legislative environment, our modern approach allows tax relief to no longer be the reserve of corporate investors able to pay excessive fees. We bring tax savings and specialist, technical advice to individuals, partnerships and corporations.
All our activities are regulated by RICS (the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and we are registered with the Chartered Institute of Taxation, for the purposes of Anti-Money Laundering legislation. We are fully compliant with all current tax legislation and will never condone or encourage tax evasion in any capacity.
