Our Mission & Background
WE SPEAK COLLECTOR. WE SOLVE TAX.
CollectTax was born out of frustration with ordinary accountants who have zero understanding of the booming UK trading card and collectibles scene.
THE REALITY OF THE TCG INDUSTRY
Over the last few years, the UK collectibles market has transformed. Thousands of dedicated individuals are moving serious money buying, grading, holding, and flipping Pokémon, One Piece, sports cards, and sealed booster boxes.
Yet, when collectors speak to their local high-street accountant, the same issues always occur:
- They don't know what a PSA 10 or BGS black label is.
- They don't understand trade-ins or card show deals.
- They can't advise on whether you are classified as a hobbyist or an active trader.
That's exactly why CollectTax was created — to give UK collectors a specialized, modern accountancy partner who speaks their exact language.
Specialised TCG Focus
100% focused on cards, slabs, boxes, and show traders.
