This schedule should be read in conjunction with the engagement letter and the standard terms and conditions.
We will prepare the partnership annual accounts.
We will use appropriate software to apply iXBRL tags to items in the accounts and tax computation as we consider appropriate for the purposes of submission of the accounts and tax computation to HMRC.
We will, to the extent we consider necessary, manually amend or apply iXBRL tags where the software has not applied automatic tagging or where we consider any automatic tagging to have been inappropriate.
We will not accept liability for any financial penalty or loss or other damage arising from any rejection of the iXBRL accounts by HMRC or otherwise as a result of incorrect or inappropriate tagging.
We will tell you, on the basis of the information supplied, and applying generally accepted accounting principles, how much tax the company should pay and when. If appropriate, we will initiate repayment claims when tax has been overpaid. We will advise on the interest and penalty implications if corporation tax is paid late.
We will inform you if instalment payments of corporation tax are due for an accounting period and the dates they are payable. We will calculate the quarterly instalments which should be made on the basis of information supplied by you by the date agreed.
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.
Where you have instructed us to do so, we will provide such other taxation advisory and ad hoc 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:
Where specialist advice is required on occasion we may need to seek this from or refer you to appropriate specialists.
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, HMRC practice, public policy or your circumstances.
We will accept no liability for losses arising from changes in the law, practice or policy or the interpretation thereof that are first published after the date on which the advice is given.
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are legally responsible for:
Failure to do this may lead to automatic penalties, surcharge and/or interest.
The signatory to the return cannot delegate this legal responsibility to others. The signatory agrees to check that the returns we have prepared for the company are complete before he/she approves and signs them
To enable us to carry out our work the Directors agree:
The Partners will keep us informed of material changes in circumstances that could affect the tax liabilities of the company. If the Partners are unsure whether the change is material or not you must still let us know so that we can assess the significance.
You will forward to us HMRC statements of account, copies of notices of assessment, letters and other communications received from HMRC by you 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 when form 64-8 has been signed and submitted it is 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.
The work carried out within this engagement will be in respect of the partnership's accounting affairs. Any work to be carried out for the partners on a personal basis will be set out in a separate letter of engagement.
You are responsible for monitoring the partnership’s monthly and rolling annual turnover to establish whether it is liable to register for VAT if it is not already registered. If you do not understand what you need to do in relation to your VAT position, please ask us. If the rolling annual turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, and you wish us to assist in notifying HMRC of its liability to be VAT registered we will be pleased to assist in the VAT registration process. You should notify us of your instructions to assist in the 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 the VAT registration threshold in force at that time was exceeded. We will not be responsible if you fail to notify us in time and incur a late registration penalty as a result.
Our services as set out above are subject to the limitations on our liability set out in the engagement letter and in paragraph 18 of our standard terms and conditions. These are important provisions that you should read and consider carefully.
