GAZETTE

APRIL /MAY 1996

maintenance payments are to a former spouse or for the benefit of a child. The chapter on Estates is essential reading for anyone administering an estate and is very well explained for any non specialist. The chapter on Retirement Plans is very useful for anyone needing advise on pensions or retirement annuities and the income tax reliefs which apply. The chapter on Investment deals with income tax provisions affecting Special Investment Policies and S c h emes and Special Portfolio Investment Account which were all new forms of special investment productions carrying a 10% tax charge under the 1993 Finance Act. Income tax advice should not be the sole preserve of the accountant. With the availability of Mr. Judge's latest annual update, every solicitor can give s ome general income tax advice to any client. His book is written in a user i friendly style and is very extensive, it is | well laid out and indexed, and is written by an author who has an imme n se kn ow l e d ge of his subject.
