How to connect flexi pipe to copper pipe?

Hi, I'm about to replace the kitchen tap, but my old tap has copper tail and is connected to the water supply pipes (as in image). 

How would I remove the old tap ? And which kind of connector do I need to connect the flexi tail of the new tap to the pipes from the wall?

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

From this angle, it appears that the tail is soldered to the tap ?

Hi @brokenrice,

 

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

Unfortunately, any time alterations need to be made to a pressurised water supply line, you'll require the assistance of a plumber.

 

They will have the knowledge required to remove and replace the tap and make any alterations to the supply line that are required.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Jacob
