Hi Sir,
I am writing you this letter to notify you that I need you to modify the tax return that you calculated over my property at my request. Your firm conducted the tax assessment this month on 9th May. According to the report, the tax on my property has been wrongly over-calculated by your firm using provisions that do not apply to me, the details of such discrepancies are a following.
Your consultant over-calculated the amount of tax on my living space which is 1800 sq ft instead of 2100 sq ft which changed the amount payable by ? 30,000 mentioned by your firm itself in the report. Along with that on the property that I disposed of this year the withholding period calculated by your firm is wrong I withheld the property for 4+ years which gets me 50% tax off on the disposal as a depreciation deduction. The amount overcalculated in this case is ?70,000. Thus, I request you to kindly lower ha amount payable by me in the assessment by ? 100,000 as an allowable deduction. I will be waiting for your follow-up. Thanks.

Hi Sir,
I am writing you this letter to notify you that I have noticed some discrepancies in the tax assessment that your firm has done for me. your lawyers wrongly calculated the amount of tax to be payable by me on my property to be ? 170,000. This amount is calculated on the reasons explained in the report that I own an extra space in the backyard for the swimming pool and 4 car space garage. However, my garage can only accommodate 2 cars, and the swimming pool area is not extra to the pace you examined we renovated it to be in the space lead explained and it occupies no extra space that explained. On these provisions, my tax payable was over-calculated by ?30,000. I would like to request your lawyer to correct these discrepancies and change the tax assessment as soon as possible so that I can go on with further procedures. I will be waiting for your response on this issue.

Hi Sir,
I want to request your firm to access the property tax to be calculated by me on my property for the financial year of 30th June 2022. I would like to request the firm to verify my documents and help me in calculating the amount of tax payable on my property as my lawyer is not available due to some reasons.
