SCHEDULE OF SERVICES

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

PARTNERSHIPS - SA800

Recurring compliance work 

We will prepare the Partnership self assessment tax returns and the annual Partnership Statements together with any supplementary pages required from the information and explanations that the Partnership provides to us. After obtaining the approval and signature of one of the Partners nominated to deal with the Partnership’s tax affairs we will submit these to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

We will prepare the Partnership business accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice from the books, accounting records and other information and explanations provided to us by you and/or by others on your behalf.

We will prepare the income tax and capital gains tax computations based on the Partnership’s business accounts for inclusion in the Partnership tax return.

If instructed we will provide each partner or their agent with details of the partner’s allocations from the return to enable partners to fill in their self assessment tax returns.

We will advise you as to possible tax return related claims and elections arising from information supplied by the Partnership. Where instructed by you we will make such claims and elections in the form and manner required by HMRC.

Ad hoc and advisory work 

Where you have instructed us to do so, we will provide such other ad hoc taxation 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:

• Dealing with any enquiry opened into the Partnership tax return by HMRC.
• Preparing any amended returns which may be required and corresponding with HMRC as necessary.

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

Changes in the law 

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 your circumstances.

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

Your responsibilities 

The Partners are legally responsible for:

• Ensuring that the Partnership self assessment tax returns are correct and complete.
• Filing any returns by the due date.
• Making payment of tax on time.

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

Taxpayers who sign their returns cannot delegate this legal responsibility to others. The Nominated Partner agrees to check that returns and partnership statements we have prepared for the Partnership are complete before you approve and sign them.

To enable us to carry out our work you agree:

• That all returns are to made on the basis of full disclosure of all sources of income, charges, allowances and capital transactions.
• To provide all information necessary for dealing with the Partnership’s affairs: we will rely on the information being true, correct and complete and will not audit the information or those documents.
• To authorise us to approach such third parties as may be appropriate for information that we consider necessary to deal with the Partnership’s taxation affairs.
• To provide us with information in sufficient time for the Partnership tax return to be completed and submitted by the due date.

You will keep us informed of material changes in circumstances that could affect the tax liabilities of the partners including, by way of example, changes in the partners in the Partnership. If you are unsure whether the change is material or not please 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 tax affairs. Any work to be carried out for the individual partners will be set out in a separate letter of engagement.

You are responsible for monitoring the Partnership’s monthly 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, please ask us. If it 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 of business. These are important provisions that you should read and consider carefully.
