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.
General Conditions
We price our 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. Our terms of payment are 30 days from date of fee note.
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 e-mail will not be a valid service under the Arbitration Act 1996.
