Tax Content Disclaimer

We publish articles and pages about bookkeeping, tax administration, and the design of our platform. This disclaimer explains how to read them — and it errs on the side of bluntness, because vagueness here serves nobody.

General guidance, not advice

Everything on this website is general information. It is written to be accurate and useful, but it is not tax advice, legal advice, or financial advice, and it cannot be: advice depends on the specific facts of your situation — your structure, your income, your expenses, your history — and a public web page knows none of them. Something that is true for most sole traders may be false for you.

Reading this site, subscribing to anything on it, or corresponding with us about it does not create a client relationship and does not make us your accountant or tax adviser.

Rules change; check GOV.UK

Tax legislation, HMRC guidance, thresholds, and deadlines change — sometimes quickly, occasionally retrospectively. Our content carries publication and last-reviewed dates in its metadata, and we correct material errors when we find them, but a page can still lag the law. For your actual obligations, the authoritative sources are GOV.UK and HMRC's published guidance — including the pages on Self Assessment and allowable expenses linked from this page — and, where judgement is needed, a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

Where our content links to GOV.UK, the link is to help you verify, not to suggest endorsement. HMRC does not approve or endorse this website or our commentary.

No reliance, no guaranteed outcomes

You should not make tax decisions on the strength of an article alone, and we do not accept responsibility for loss arising from acting on general content without advice specific to you. Nothing on this site guarantees any tax outcome — no level of deduction, no refund, no particular treatment by HMRC. Anyone who does guarantee such things is telling you something about themselves.

Responsibility for your tax filings and records remains, in law, with you as the taxpayer. Good software and good bookkeeping make discharging that responsibility far easier; they do not transfer it.

The engagement letter governs our services

If you become a client, the services we provide — their scope, their price, our responsibilities, and yours — are defined solely by the engagement letter we agree with you. Nothing on this website, including descriptions of features, pricing pages, articles, or FAQs, forms part of that agreement, extends it, or overrides it. If the website and your engagement letter ever appear to say different things, the engagement letter wins.

Descriptions of the platform on this site — including how our AI drafting, validation, and human review work — are accurate accounts of how the service is designed, but the contractual description of what we do for you lives in your engagement letter.

Questions

If you are unsure whether something you have read here applies to your situation, the safe assumption is that it might not. Ask us at [email protected], or put the question to your existing adviser — and for anything with a deadline attached, check GOV.UK first.
