Our Story
We are a multi-disciplinary tax advisory practice offering a tailored and partner-led approach to tax advice.
As a registered firm of Chartered Tax Advisors by the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT), we uphold the professional conduct in relation to taxation (PCRT) with high regard and consider it at the forefront of our approach when delivering tax advice to our clients.
Syon Tax is led by Mohammad Alimahomed and Ammar Mussa, both of whom gained most of their experience and qualified with Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Recognising the need and a gap in the market for a no -nonsense, partner-led approach to tax advice, Syon Tax was formed.

We spend time to dive deep and understand our clients’ personal and commercial objectives
Relationships are built on trust and honesty is the backbone to such a relationship. We pride ourselves on being transparent and honest with our staff, clients and other stakeholders.

Delivery of tax advice
Your Tax Partner
More often than not, our role involves working alongside independent firms of accountants. Just as we know our professional limitations, we also know that other professional advisers cannot be expected to know everything about tax!
We therefore offer the same level of tax support to small accountancy practices as we do for our clients.
Our tax consultancy services cover the full range of tax services ordinarily found in the tax departments of the larger accountancy practices.
