Sell Simon's Taxes
Simon's Taxes
The UK's leading direct tax reference service, since 1948.
We buy Simon's Taxes binder sets — complete or partial, however current the supplements are. Worth knowing before you enquire: this is a looseleaf, continuously-updated service, not a bound annual edition — which changes what actually affects the value.
Worth knowing first
A looseleaf service, not a bound edition.
Simon's Taxes covers UK direct tax — income tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax, and inheritance tax — across around eleven looseleaf binders, updated with replacement pages roughly monthly rather than reissued as whole new volumes the way Archbold or the White Book are. That format difference genuinely changes what we look at when valuing a set: how current the inserted supplements are matters more here than an edition number does for a bound title, and a set that's fallen a few updates behind is still very much worth an enquiry rather than something we'd turn away.
What affects value
Currency and completeness, more than anything else.
How current the supplements are
A set kept reasonably up to date with its monthly inserts is worth more than one that's fallen well behind — but "behind" doesn't mean worthless, just a factor in the figure.
Completeness of the binders
All eleven binders present, in sequence, is worth more than a partial set — though partial sets are still bought.
Condition
Looseleaf binders see more handling than bound volumes. Ordinary wear is expected and priced in; damage that affects whether pages stay properly filed is what genuinely matters.

Common questions
Selling Simon's Taxes
Is Simon's Taxes a bound set like Halsbury's, or something different?
Different — it's a looseleaf binder service, updated with replacement pages roughly monthly rather than reissued as whole bound volumes. That affects value: how current the supplement inserts are matters more here than edition number does for a bound title.
Do you still buy it if it hasn't been kept up to date with supplements?
Yes — a set that's fallen behind on updates is still worth an enquiry. It's simply one of the things we factor into the figure, alongside completeness of the binders themselves.
