What Solomon writes about

Solomon contributes plain-English, evidence-led writing on Making Tax Digital and the software behind it, drawn from building TapTax and from delivering on HMRC's own digital programmes. His pieces are a software and practice perspective, grounded in HMRC and GOV.UK sources, rather than regulated tax advice.
