20. SCHEDULE OF SERVICES (ASSISTED SERVICE CLIENTS)

This schedule should be read in conjunction with the standard terms and conditions.

Personal Tax, individuals, sole traders, couples and Partnerships

Recurring compliance work

1. We will review your self-assessment tax returns together with any supplementary pages required from the information and explanations that you provide to us. After our review points, you will do the required changes and submit your returns to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

2. We will calculate your income tax, national insurance contributions (NIC) and any capital gains tax liabilities and tell you how much you should pay and when. Where instructed by you we will advise on the interest and penalty implications if tax or NIC is paid late. We will also check HMRC's calculation of your tax and NIC liabilities and initiate repayment claims if tax or NIC has been overpaid.

3. Other than as regards tax credits and universal credit (see below) we will advise you as to possible tax return related claims and elections arising from information supplied by you. Where instructed by you, we will make such claims and elections in the form and manner required by HMRC.

4. We will review PAYE notices of coding provided to us and advise accordingly.

Ad hoc and advisory work

5. Where you have instructed us to do so, we will also provide such other taxation ad hoc and advisory services as may be agreed between us from time to time. These may be the subject of a separate engagement letter at our option. Where appropriate we will discuss and agree an additional fee for such work when it is commissioned by you. Examples of such work include:

  • Advising on ad hoc transactions, preparing additional supplementary pages to your tax return and calculating any related liabilities;
  • Dealing with any enquiry opened into your tax return by HMRC;
  • Preparing any amended returns which may be required and corresponding with HMRC as necessary; and
  • Advising on the rules relating to and assisting with VAT registration.

6. Where specialist advice is required, on occasions we may need to seek this from or refer you to appropriate specialists.

Tax Credits

7. If we agree to advise you on tax credits and universal credit we will issue a separate letter or schedule to cover this area. Tax credits and universal credit are, in effect, a social security benefit. Your entitlement or otherwise will depend not only on your own circumstances but also those of your household and we would require all relevant information to advise in this regard.

Changes in the law or practice or in public policy

8. We will not accept responsibility if you act on advice given by us on an earlier occasion without first confirming with us that the advice is still valid in the light of any change in the law or practice or in public policy or your circumstances.

9. We will accept no liability for losses arising from changes in the law (or the interpretation thereof) or practice or in public policy that are first published after the date on which the advice is given.

Your responsibilities

10. You are legally responsible for:

  1. Ensuring that your self-assessment tax returns are correct and complete;
  2. Filing any returns by the due date; and
  3. Making payment of tax on time.

Failure to do this may lead to penalties and/or interest.

Taxpayers who sign their returns cannot delegate this legal responsibility to others. You agree to check that returns that we have prepared for you are complete before you approve and sign them.

11. To enable us to carry out our work you agree:

  1. That all returns are to be made on the basis of full disclosure of all sources of income, charges, allowances and capital transactions;
  2. To provide all information necessary for dealing with your affairs: we will rely on the information and documents being true, correct and complete and will not audit the information or those documents;
  3. To authorise us to approach such third parties as may be appropriate for information that we consider necessary to deal with your affairs; and
  4. To provide us with information in sufficient time for your tax return to be completed and submitted by the due date following the end of the tax year. In order that we can do this, we need to receive all relevant information by two weeks before the submission deadline. Where feasible we may agree to complete your return within a shorter period but may charge an additional fee for so doing.

12. You will keep us informed of material changes in your circumstances that could affect your tax liability. If you are unsure whether the change is material or not please let us know so that we can assess its significance.

13. You will forward to us HMRC statements of account, copies of notices of assessment, letters and other communications received from HMRC in time to enable us to deal with them as may be necessary within the statutory time limits. Although HMRC have the authority to communicate with us once they have been notified that we are acting on your behalf as your agent it is still essential that you let us have copies of any correspondence received because HMRC are not obliged to send us copies of all communications issued to you.

14. (a) [You are responsible for monitoring your monthly turnover to establish whether you are liable to register for VAT. If you do not understand what you need to do, please ask us. If you exceed the VAT registration threshold, and wish us to assist you in notifying HMRC of your liability to be VAT registered, we will be pleased to assist you in the VAT registration process. You should notify us of your instructions to assist in your VAT registration in good time to enable a VAT registration form to be submitted within the time limit of one month following the month in which you exceed the VAT registration threshold in force at that time. We will not be responsible if you fail to notify us in time and incur a late registration penalty as a result.]

(b) If you provide digital services to consumers in the EC you are responsible for either registering for VAT in that member state or registering for MOSS in the UK.

(c) You are responsible for employment taxes, pensions (including auto-enrolment) and the assessment of the tax status of your workers. If you do not understand what you need to consider or action you need to take, please ask us. We will not be in a position to assist you in complying with your responsibilities if we are not engaged to provide such a service. We are not responsible for any penalty that is incurred.

15. Our services as detailed above are subject to the limitations on our liability set out in our standard terms and conditions of Business. These are important provisions which you should read and consider carefully.

16. Money Laundering Regulations 2007 In accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act and Money Laundering Regulations 2007 you agree to waive your right to confidentiality to the extent of any report made, document provided or information disclosed to the National Crime Agency (NCA).

You also acknowledge that we are required to report directly to the NCA without prior reference to you or your representatives if during the course of undertaking any assignment the person undertaking the role of Money Laundering Reporting Officer becomes suspicious of money laundering.

As with other professional services firms, we are required to identify our clients for the purposes of the UK anti-money laundering legislation. We may request from you, and retain, such information and documentation as we require for these purposes and/or make searches of appropriate databases. If we are not able to obtain satisfactory evidence of your identity, we will not be able to proceed with the engagement.

Copies of such records will be maintained by us for a period of at least five years after we cease to act for the business.

17. Limitation of liability

We will provide our services with reasonable care and skill. Our liability to you is limited to losses, damages, costs and expenses caused by our negligence or wilful default.

Exclusion of liability for loss caused by others

We will not be liable if such losses, penalties, surcharges, interest or additional tax liabilities are due to the acts or omissions of any other person or due to the provision to us of incomplete, misleading or false information or if they are due to a failure to act on our advice or a failure to provide us with relevant information.

Exclusion of liability in relation to circumstances beyond our control

We will not be liable to you for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under this engagement letter if the delay or failure is caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Exclusion of liability relating to the discovery of fraud, etc.

We will not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage or expense incurred or sustained if information material to the service we are providing is withheld or concealed from us or wrongly misrepresented to us or from fraudulent acts, misrepresentation or wilful default on the part of any party to the transaction and their directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers.

This exclusion shall not apply where such misrepresentation, withholding or concealment is or should (in carrying out the procedures which we have agreed to perform with reasonable care and skill) have been evident to us without further enquiry.

Indemnity for unauthorised disclosure

You agree to indemnify us and our agents in respect of any claim (including any claim for negligence) arising out of any unauthorised disclosure of our advice and opinions, whether in writing or otherwise. This indemnity will extend to the cost of defending any such claim, including payment at our usual rates for the time that we spend in defending it.

Limitation of aggregate liability

Where the engagement letter specifies an aggregate limit of liability, then that sum shall be the maximum aggregate liability of this company, its partners/directors agents and employees to all persons to whom the engagement letter is addressed and also any other person that we have agreed with you may rely on our work. By signing the engagement letter, you agree that you have given proper consideration to this limit and accept that it is reasonable in all the circumstances. If you do not wish to accept it you should contact us to discuss it before signing the engagement letter.

You have agreed that you will not bring any claim of a kind that is included within the subject of the limit against any of our directors or employees; on a personal basis.

18. Limitation of Third Party Rights

The advice and information we provide to you as part of our service is for your sole use and not for any third party to whom you may communicate it unless we have expressly agreed in the engagement letter that a specified third party may rely on our work. We accept no responsibility to third parties, including any group company to whom the engagement letter is not addressed, for any advice, information or material produced as part of our work for you which you make available to them. It may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose or by any other person other than you without our prior written consent. A party to this agreement is the only person who has the right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms.

If our advice is disclosed to any third party (with or without our consent), then we accept no responsibility or liability to that third party for any consequences that may arise to them, should they rely on the advice.

If it is proposed that any documents or statement which refer to our name are to be circulated to third parties, please consult us before they are issued.

You and your spouse/partner

19. We shall advise you and your spouse [partner] on the basis that you are a family unit. You both agree that in all matters relating to your or your spouse's [partner's] tax and financial affairs, we may deal directly with either of you and we may discuss with either of you the tax liabilities and/or financial affairs of the other. If you wish to make any change to these arrangements at any time, please let us know.

In order for us to act for you as a couple in respect of a joint claim, you undertake that all instructions, information or explanations either of you gives us will be on behalf of both of you, unless you specifically tell us otherwise. Similarly, if one of you signs a document, it will be on behalf of you both unless you instruct us to the contrary. If a conflict of interest should arise between you in relation to any matter to do with your joint claim or entitlement, we reserve the right to cease acting for both of you, or to advise one or other of you to obtain independent advice.
