What this disclaimer covers

Edward Harris LTD (company number 15709659), trading as Edward Harris Chartered Accountants, is an ACCA-regulated accountancy practice based in Oldham, Greater Manchester. This disclaimer applies to everything we publish: website pages, blog posts, knowledge centre articles, downloadable guides, PDF resources, calculators, and content shared on social media. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, both of which set out additional rights and obligations for visitors and clients.

Information, not advice

Important

Everything published on this website is general information intended to help UK business owners and individuals understand accounting, tax, and financial topics. It is not, and should not be treated as, professional accounting or tax advice. General content cannot take into account your specific circumstances — your tax position, business structure, trading history, personal situation, or the timing of your decisions. Acting on website content alone, without speaking to a qualified accountant about your particular situation, is done entirely at your own risk. If you need advice you can rely on, the right step is to contact us and engage the firm formally. We are happy to help and the initial conversation is free.

Accuracy and currency

Content on this website is accurate at the time it is written, but tax law and HMRC rules change — sometimes frequently.

Accurate at time of publishing

Every article, guide, and resource we publish is researched and accurate when it goes live. We take care to reflect the correct tax rates, VAT thresholds, filing deadlines, and HMRC rules at the time of writing. However, publication date matters, and older content may no longer reflect the current position.

Tax law changes

UK tax law is updated at least once a year through the Budget, and sometimes more frequently through the Autumn Statement, Finance Acts, and HMRC statutory instruments. Specific rates, thresholds, allowances, and deadlines can change quickly. An article that was correct when published may not reflect the law in force today.

We do not promise updates

We do not commit to updating every article or guide when legislation changes. Articles more than twelve months old should be treated with particular caution. You should not assume that content is current simply because it is available on the website. Always check the publication or review date where shown.

Verify before acting

Before making any decision involving money, an HMRC submission, a tax payment, a filing deadline, or a business commitment, please verify the current rules with HMRC directly at gov.uk, or get in touch with us. We are always happy to confirm the up-to-date position as part of a no-pressure initial conversation.

No accountant-client relationship

Important

Reading this website, downloading a guide, using a calculator, submitting the contact form, or attending a free initial discovery call does not create an accountant-client relationship between you and Edward Harris LTD. That relationship arises only when both parties have signed a formal Engagement Letter. Until an Engagement Letter is in place, Edward Harris LTD is not acting as your accountant, is not responsible for any decisions you make, and you are not covered by the firm’s professional indemnity insurance. If you are unsure whether an engagement is in place, please contact us at info@edwardharris.co.uk.

External links and third parties

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including HMRC, Companies House, software providers such as Xero and QuickBooks, and sources referenced in our articles. We do not control the content, accuracy, or availability of those external sites, and linking to them does not mean we endorse the organisation, its services, or any advice it publishes. If you follow a link to an external site, you do so at your own risk and should review that site’s own terms and privacy policy before relying on anything you find there.

Calculators and tools

Any calculators or estimation tools available on this website — including take-home pay calculators, tax estimators, VAT calculators, or similar tools — are provided for illustrative purposes only. They produce indicative figures based on the inputs you enter and standard assumptions. They do not account for your full tax position, personal allowances, reliefs, business structure, or any other factor specific to your circumstances. Figures produced by these tools must not be used to complete a tax return, make a financial commitment, or submit information to HMRC. Accurate calculations for your situation are provided as part of a formal engagement with the firm.

Liability

This section concerns liability arising from your use of website content only. Liability for professional services delivered under an Engagement Letter is governed separately by that agreement.

If you are a client of Edward Harris LTD, your rights and our obligations are set out in your signed Engagement Letter. Nothing in this disclaimer changes or limits those rights. This section applies solely to losses that might arise from reading, downloading, or acting on content published on this website.

What we do not limit

Nothing in this disclaimer limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted under English law. Those protections remain in full.

What we do limit

To the extent permitted by law, Edward Harris LTD accepts no liability for any financial loss, business loss, loss of profits, loss of data, or wasted time arising directly or indirectly from reliance on general content published on this website. This includes tax decisions made, deadlines missed, fines or penalties incurred, or business decisions taken on the basis of website content alone, without a formal engagement in place.

When to engage us formally

If you have a specific situation that requires advice you can act on with confidence, the right route is to book a free discovery call and, where appropriate, enter into a formal engagement with the firm. Once an Engagement Letter is signed, our professional indemnity insurance applies to the work we carry out for you, and liability is governed by the terms set out in that agreement.

Copyright and content

All content on this website — including text, articles, guides, graphics, and downloadable resources — is the property of Edward Harris LTD or is used under licence. You are welcome to read and share our content for personal or educational purposes, provided you credit the source. Commercial reproduction, republication, or redistribution without our prior written permission is not permitted. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for full details of permitted use.

Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in law, our services, or website content. When we do, the last reviewed date at the top of this page will be updated. Continuing to use this website after any changes take effect indicates your acceptance of the revised disclaimer. We recommend checking this page periodically.
