UK Tax Drag is written and reviewed by the editorial team at Finsolve Consulting Limited — the site's publisher, a company registered in England & Wales (no. 15562432) and the legal entity accountable for everything published here. Chartered accountants and FCA-authorised advisers are being onboarded for named specialist review, and we never put invented bylines on content — readers should know exactly what they're getting. This page is updated as the named-expert panel goes live.
Current structure: editorial team as institutional reviewer
Every page on UK Tax Drag is reviewed by the editorial team at Finsolve Consulting Limited, the site's publisher. Pages are signed off as "reviewed by the UK Tax Drag editorial team" — the team inside the company that answers for this site legally, as its publisher and data controller. That structure is deliberate:
- We don't want to put placeholder names on content. Some UK personal finance sites stick fictional or junior author bylines on content reviewed by the senior team. We don't think that's honest.
- Qualified specialist review is being onboarded. When the chartered accountants and FCA-authorised advisers are formally on board to specifically review content in their area, their names + credentials will appear on the pages they reviewed.
- The review is real and accountable. Every page is reviewed before publication by the team at Finsolve Consulting Limited — the same registered company that is legally responsible for the site, so accountability sits with an identifiable entity, not an anonymous blog.
The forthcoming specialist expert panel
We're building a panel of specialist reviewers across the major content areas. Each speciality will be covered by a credentialled expert who reviews and co-signs the content in that area. When live, the structure will be:
Tax compliance + Self Assessment
Reviewer: an ACA or ACCA-qualified accountant with active UK SA practice experience. Coverage: SA filing pages, HICBC mechanics, Self Assessment walkthroughs, Class 2/3/4 NI, allowable expenses, MTD ITSA, the SDLT cluster, the HICBC cluster.
Pensions + retirement income
Reviewer: an FCA-authorised IFA with pension specialism (typically a Chartered Financial Planner). Coverage: pension cluster, LSA/LSDBA mechanics, 2027 IHT-on-pensions reform, drawdown vs annuity, SIPP property, carry-forward + taper, voluntary NI guides, Retirement Hub.
Capital Gains Tax + investment tax
Reviewer: a CTA (Chartered Tax Adviser) with CGT specialism. Coverage: CGT cluster, crypto CGT, inherited assets, CGT vs IHT, the 30-day rule.
Property tax + SDLT
Reviewer: a CTA with SDLT and property tax practice. Coverage: SDLT cluster, BTL guides, property CGT, inherited property SDLT, mixed-use property.

What changes when named experts come on board
When a specialist expert is formally onboarded and signs off content in their area:
- The page's "Last reviewed by" line will display the named expert + their credential (e.g. "Last reviewed by Jane Smith, CTA · 12 May 2026").
- The expert's profile will appear on this page (photo, credential, brief background, the areas they review).
- Schema markup will be updated to include the author / reviewer specifically (Person schema linked to the WebPage).
- Pages with regulated investment advice content (e.g. retirement drawdown decisions) will be reviewed by an FCA-authorised IFA before publication.
Until then: the "Last reviewed by the UK Tax Drag editorial team" line is the operating commitment, and the editorial team takes accountability for the content.
The Editor
UK Tax Drag is published and edited by Finsolve Consulting Limited, a company registered in England & Wales (company no. 15562432, verifiable on the Companies House register). Editorial responsibility — research, accuracy, dating to the 2026/27 tax year, and corrections — sits with the publisher, who is responsible for:
- Setting the editorial direction.
- Reviewing every page before publication.
- Setting and maintaining editorial standards.
- Handling reader corrections.
- Onboarding the specialist expert panel.
The Editor works within Finsolve Consulting Limited, the publisher, and answers for every page through the company. When the named specialist panel goes live, reviewer names and credentials will appear alongside the pages they review — and this page will introduce the Editor alongside them, rather than fronting expert content with non-specialist credentials in the meantime.
Editorial independence
UK Tax Drag is independently owned by the publisher — no investors, no parent company, no commercial relationships beyond those documented in how we make money. The Editor has full editorial authority. Any commercial relationship (if one is ever developed) sits separately from the editorial decision-making structure.
