payecheck Terms of Engagement

What We Have Agreed To Do

Tax Rebates:

  • Calculate any UK income tax refund due from the information you make available to us.
  • Make and manage the claim dealing with any enquiries arising and reporting progress to you from time to time.
  • Check any refund issued to or for you.

Tax & VAT Returns:

  • Prepare tax and VAT returns from information provided by you, including the calculation of the overall tax liability, advise you of that liability and forward the return to you for checking prior to filing online on your behalf.

What We Require You To Do

  • Provide us with all the information which we request without undue delay and in good time to enable any tax return or submission to be made and to resolve any enquiries arising.
  • Provide us with any documentary evidence that we may require for our purposes.
  • Check for correctness any tax return prepared for you.

Tax Disputes

  • Much tax and VAT law is uncertain in its impact. Differing views of the tax implications of the same transaction may tenably be held. Where we have made a claim for relief, or reached any other conclusion or made any decision or given any advice in the course of acting as your agent for tax purposes, and that claim, decision or advice was reasonably made or given having regard to the circumstances and information available at the time and the then prevailing treatment generally understood to be acceptable, we shall not be held liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties or other costs howsoever arising, which became payable as a result of an Inland Revenue enquiry or investigation or any other circumstance where the Revenue or any other party's view is found to prevail or is conceded.

Employee Protection

  • It is an express term of this engagement that no liability to you is inferred or admitted by employees of the practice in respect of the duties carried out in the course of their employment and that you will not make or pursue any claim against any employees of the practice acknowledging that all rights and remedies for any wrongs lie against A C Eggleton & Co Ltd and not against any Director or employee.

Professional Indemnity Cover and Limitation of Liability

  • We confirm that we hold Professional Indemnity cover in accordance with the requirements of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants and the Financial Services Authority, designed to ensure compensation is available to you in the event that you suffer loss or damage as a result of any negligent error by ourselves. However, our liability for any such claim for compensation is limited to the level of our Professional Indemnity cover from time to time in force. Details of the current level of cover are available to you at any time upon request.

General Conditions

  • Our fees for obtaining tax rebates are 22% of any refund(s) arising as a result of our submissions on your behalf regardless of the tax year involved. Where the refund is received by us in accordance with your mandate our fee will be deducted from the sum received and the balance forwarded to you. In all other cases we will render our fee note for payment within 30 days.
  • We price our non-Tax Rebate work having regard to its value, including the time spent by us, the urgency of the work, and the levels of skill and responsibility involved.
  • We may terminate or suspend our engagement and cease acting if payment of any fees is unduly delayed.
  • All demands, services and notices required by any regulation or Act of Parliament must be made in writing to the Company at 5 Bruce Street, Annan, Dumfriesshire, DG12 5AB. Service of such notices by email will not be a valid service under the Arbitration Act 1996.
