Terms & Conditions Individual Tax
The purpose of this letter is to set out the basis on which we are engaged to assist in preparation of your personal tax return as your agents and the respective areas of responsibility for you and ourselves.

We shall compile the tax return based on the records maintained by you and the information and explanations given to us by you.

Our work as compilers of the tax return will not include the audit of the records in accordance with Auditing Standards. Consequently our work will not provide assurance that the tax return or the records are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud, error or other irregularities.

If we conclude that the tax return is misleading we will simply issue you with a draft tax return. Furthermore this draft tax return will be for you only, and not for distribution to third parties. Should this situation arise our fees for work performed will still be payable as set out below.

Ultimate responsibility for the preparation of the tax return rests with you. You are also responsible for making available to us all the business’s accounting records and other related information.

We would be pleased to discuss tax planning opportunities and other issues affecting the company. We understand that we shall act on your behalf in the preparation of tax computations and their agreement with the Inland Revenue.

We understand that we have your expressed agreement to dispose of files if this agreement is terminated.

Investment Business and Financial Advice
For the purposes of clarity, if you requested financial advice, we shall act as introducers only in these matters, and the independent intermediary will be responsible for all Financial Services Act requirements.

Commitment to Best Service
If at any time you would like to discuss with us our service to you or if you are dissatisfied with the service you are receiving please contact Richard Baptiste. We undertake to look into any individual complaint carefully and promptly and to do all we can to explain the position to you. If we have given a less than satisfactory service we undertake to do everything reasonable to put right.

Should any matters arising still not be resolved, you may of course take them up with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

Fees
Our fees will take account of the degree of responsibility, skill involved and time necessarily occupied on work carried out.
We will quote a fixed fee before commencing work, unless otherwise agreed.
Our minimum fee is payable monthly, unless otherwise agreed.
Where work is required outside of the responsibilities set out in the earlier part of this letter, unless otherwise agreed, we will agree on the work to be performed and quote a fixed fee in advance of starting the work.

For the purpose of this policy, we’ll refer to them as our ‘services’.
When we say ‘personal data’ we mean identifiable information about you, like your name, email, address, telephone number, support requests etc. If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been aggregated and anonymised) then this notice doesn’t apply. Check out APPENDIX 1 for more information on how we treat your other data.

For example, we ask for your name and email address when you sign up for a free trial or an email offer, participate in online forums, join us on social media, take part in training and events, contact us with questions or request support. You’re not obliged to give us your personal data, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or services.
