Tax advice limitation
Reliance on tax advice and HMRC penalty position
Tax advice is provided only under the terms and scope of the relevant engagement and is based on the facts, documents, law and assumptions identified at the time. Advice does not guarantee HMRC acceptance, the availability of a relief, a particular tax outcome or the absence or reduction of tax, interest or penalties.
Whether reasonable care was taken and whether a penalty arises depend on the taxpayer’s actual conduct, knowledge, systems, disclosures and evidence. Advice prepared for one client or transaction is not addressed to any other person and may not be relied upon, quoted or circulated for third-party reliance without our prior written agreement.
Before relying on tax advice
- Confirm that the advice is addressed to you and covers the decision being made.
- Make sure all material facts and documents have been supplied.
- Check the tax year, transaction date, assumptions and deadline involved.
- Tell us before acting if the facts, values, law or intended steps have changed.
- Do not forward or publish advice for another person to rely on.
- Obtain written advice where the issue is complex, material, uncertain or high risk.
