Kensington Tax Solutions — Terms of Engagement

1. Basis of Contract

These Terms shall be accepted when we receive your completed application form or upon commencement of us performing any services. These Terms apply to the contract to the exclusion of any other terms implied by trade, custom or practice.

2. Supply of Services

We shall provide the Services using reasonable care and skill. Our services are provided exclusively for the benefit of the client named in the application and solely for the purpose stated. We do not accept liability to any third party. Our services do not include regulated financial advice subject to FCA regulation, or the management or controlling of your business or financial decisions.

3. Charges

Our standard charges are as stated in your chosen package. Fees are invoiced monthly and payable by Direct Debit on the 1st of each month. All fees are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. If payment is not received by the 14th of each month, we reserve the right to suspend services until all outstanding amounts are paid. Kensington Tax Solutions charge a one-off fee of £100+VAT for company formation if requested.

4. Your Obligations

• You must ensure all information provided to us is accurate, complete, and up to date.
• You must co-operate fully and provide records and financial information promptly when requested.
• You must authorise us to act as your HMRC agent by signing a form 64-8.
• You must inform us promptly of any changes in your circumstances.
• Limited company clients must file accounts at Companies House within 9 months of their year-end. To meet this, we require your complete records no later than 5 months after your year-end.

5. IR35

You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for determining your IR35 status. Whilst we provide IR35 guidance as part of our service, final IR35 determinations remain the responsibility of the client and/or the relevant engager. We recommend you seek independent IR35 insurance from a specialist provider.

6. Confidentiality & Data Protection

We shall not disclose your confidential information to any third party except as required to provide the services, as required by law, or with your prior consent. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office as a data controller. Your personal data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy available at kensingtontaxsolutions.com/privacy-policy.

7. Limitation of Liability

Our total aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the total fees paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We hold professional indemnity insurance. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death, personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate this engagement by giving one month’s written notice. Upon termination, all outstanding fees become immediately payable. We will provide you with all necessary documentation to transfer to a new accountant in a timely manner.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by English law. The Courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to any dispute arising from this engagement.
