Terms of Engagement
1. Scope of Representation
SVS Accounting Services provides accounting, bookkeeping and tax services within the scope agreed with each client. Services may include Self Assessment tax returns, CIS tax returns, VAT returns, payroll, limited company accounts and Corporation Tax returns, as applicable. Work will commence only after the relevant services, responsibilities and fees have been agreed. Any services outside the agreed scope may require a separate arrangement.
2. Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for providing complete, accurate and timely information, records and supporting documents. Clients must review information and returns prepared on their behalf and confirm their accuracy before submission where required. Clients remain responsible for meeting their legal and tax obligations, including applicable HMRC deadlines. SVS Accounting Services cannot be held responsible for delays or inaccuracies resulting from incomplete, incorrect or late information supplied by the client, except where responsibility arises from our own failure to exercise reasonable care and skill.
3. Professional Fees & Payments
Our professional fees depend on the services required, the complexity and volume of work, and the quality of the records provided. Fees, payment arrangements and the scope of services will be confirmed with each client before work begins. Additional work outside the agreed scope may incur further charges, which will be discussed and agreed in advance. Any applicable VAT treatment and payment terms will be communicated as part of the individual service agreement.
4. Confidentiality & Data Protection
SVS Accounting Services treats client information confidentially and processes personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Information may be shared where necessary to provide agreed services, with authorised service providers, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law, including applicable anti-money laundering obligations. Appropriate measures are taken to protect personal information. Further details are provided in our Privacy Policy.
