Article discussing HMRC’s widening tax adviser registration regime from May 2026 and what solicitors, conveyancers and accountants need to know about SDLT compliance and regulatory risk.

I’m pleased to say that my latest article for HMRC Enquiries, Investigations and Powers is now live in the February / March 2026 edition.

In this piece, I examine HMRC’s forthcoming mandatory tax adviser registration regime and why its effects extend well beyond those who would traditionally describe themselves as tax advisers.

The focus is on how the legislation is framed around interaction with HMRC, what that means in practice for conveyancing and private client work, and the practical steps firms should be considering now to avoid operational disruption ahead of May 2026.
