• Question & Answer Service.
  • Assumptions
    
    Except where the answer to your tax question expressly states to the contrary, the answer will be based on the three assumptions set out below:
    
  • You are UK resident, ordinarily resident and domiciled.
  • You did not make any capital gains during the tax year(s) in question, other than as detailed in your question.
  • You comply with in full (and shall continue to comply with) all obligations under tax law.

If any of these assumptions does not apply to your question or personal circumstances we recommend that you resubmit your question to us advising us which assumption (s) do not apply (as the answer provided by the tax expert may be inaccurate, incomplete or incorrect as a result of this).

• Scope of the Service
  
  • Answers under this service are intended for general guidance only.
  • The tax experts undertake only to provide the best general guidance that they can within an allotted time of 15 minutes (notwithstanding that they may on occasion spend longer than 15 minutes on an answer, at their sole discretion).
  • The Question & Answer Service covers UK taxation only.
    Although the tax experts are committed to providing a fast service, they cannot guarantee that answers to questions will always be received by you within 3-5 working days. They reserve the right to refrain from answering specific questions at their sole discretion and we shall then refund any sums paid in respect of unanswered questions submitted.
  • If you require specific advice, which is beyond the scope of this service you can contact us for details of our consultancy service or contact a suitably qualified specialist before any action is taken or any decision is made to refrain from taking action.
  • Your statutory rights in the United Kingdom are not affected.
    
    
• Disclaimer
  
  Please note that the answers contain general guidance only and do not constitute accountancy or other professional advice.

Although the aim is always to ensure that you are provided with as comprehensive an answer as possible within the limited scope of this service, all liability is excluded for any loss which may arise as a result of:

• Your reliance upon an answer where you know or should have known that one of the assumptions did not apply (if you are not sure then please ask!);
• Your reliance on this service for non-UK taxation issues and/or investment advice and/or specialist advice (please seek advice from a specialist in these areas - we are happy to recommend one to you!);
• Your reliance on an answer which has subsequently become inaccurate, incomplete or incorrect as a result of future changes in the law or changes in practice by government or regulatory authorities (eg Inland Revenue) or changes to your personal circumstances (please feel free to submit a fresh question at a future date!).

We recommend that for a specific accountancy or tax problem or matter a suitably qualified accountant, independent financial adviser or tax specialist should be consulted. We are happy to recommend one to you.

Services, content and information are provided for the sole personal use of User. No obligation to any other parties can be accepted by Taxcafe UK Limited or the tax experts that provide answers to tax questions.

• Cancellation
  
  Orders placed under the Q&A service may be cancelled by User at any time prior to commencement of work on the relevant answer. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be assumed for this purpose that work commences one hour before delivery of the answer. All other orders placed may be cancelled at any time prior to delivery. In the case of cancellations made in accordance with the above terms, full refunds will be provided to User.

Security

All payments on this website are made through Worldpay Plc's secure payment server. Worldpay is the leading online payment provider in the United Kingdom. They use industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Thawte and WorldPay unique encryption systems. SSL requires multiple layers of communication. These multiple layers turn your information into an encrypted code that is extremely difficult to break.

When you fill in the payment form and click the submit button, your details are not sent straight away. What actually happens is that a secure link is set up between your browser and WorldPay. An encryption code is requested and received, which then wraps the order and transaction details before leaving your computer.

Q. Does Taxcafe.co.uk Collect Credit Card Information
A. No. We never get to see your credit card details.
