Just FYI, in the US there are actually not just accountants but tax professionals.

Accountants will tell you “I’m not a tax guy” and tax guys will tell you “I’m not an accountant”

Taxes are so convoluted and constantly changing that a separate class of number crunchers are maintained for it.

(I’m sure someone could wear both hats, but in my experience they don’t or can’t. Too many requirements for maintaining both?)
