We have today published a new policy on our website
Deadline Policy
Deadline Policy – our policy around managing worksflows for statutory deadlines and the respective duties and obligations of ourselves and clients
By way of background, most filings for HMRC and Companies House have statutory deadlines which incur penalties if not met. As taxpayer / business owner meeting deadlines is your responsibility, as are penalties for non-compliance.
Whitefield Tax aim to help you meet these obligations. However where information such as bookkeeping and other records are provided to us late or incomplete, it becomes difficult and time consuming to meet these deadlines.
This policy sets out how we manage work flows against statutory deadlines, what clients can expect from us, and what we expect from clients.
This policy does not change our Terms of Business, which form the contract we have with clients, but helps to amplify and explain them.
