2.8 We will complete your basic personal tax return for free provided you are a FULL fee paying Director of your company as at 31 Mar of the tax year in question (and if you are not, a fee of £95 + VAT will apply). Our personal tax return service is optional and must be requested using our online system. If your personal income also includes sole trader/partnership income, non-domicile related income, capital gains from selling of an asset, or rental property income, an additional charge of £75 + VAT is payable. If we are unable to submit your personal tax return before 31 October (because for example (a) you sign up for our service late; (b) you take a while to get your personal tax UTR; (c) you are held up getting your earnings details, or any other relevant information, to us; (d) you don’t pay our fee for this service in time; (e) you do not approve your draft tax return in time) then our fee will increase by £50 + VAT. In addition to these fees, if you sign up for our personal tax return service after 31 Dec of the following tax year, our January surcharge fee of £75 + VAT will also apply. If you would like us to amend and file a personal tax return previously prepared and filed by us, an additional fee of £50 + VAT will be payable. If you operate any share trading or FX trading accounts where income and/or gains need to be reported in your tax return, there may be an extra charge of between £100 – £400 + VAT to tabulate and calculate your trading income / gains.

2.9 Service 2 clients only. If you have made mistakes with recording/reconciling your company financial transactions and require our assistance to rectify this, or require us to reconcile your account for other reasons, an additional fee of £50 + VAT will apply for every calendar month of transactions that we remedy.

2.10a Fee holiday. For every full month you are not trading, we will discount our standard monthly accounting fee by 50%. Your company must not be trading for a minimum of one month to qualify and only whole months will be used in calculating your fee discount. For example, a non-trading period of between 2 to 2.9 months will entitle you to a 50% discount for 2 months.

2.10b Fee holiday. Referral discounts will still be available while the reduced monthly fee is in place and will be calculated based on our standard monthly fee reduced by 50%.

2.11a Non trading – If you sign up for our accounting service, AND use our free company formation service, AND you have not started trading within six months, then our Fee Holiday charging rate will commence. See Section 2.10a for details.

2.11b Non trading – If you move to our accounting service from other accountants, or with your own limited company, and you are not trading at that point, our Fee Holiday charging rate will apply from your ‘switching’ date. See Section 2.10a for details.

2.12 Companies House Confirmation Statement (CS). Companies House charge £13 (no VAT) when filing your CS. We make the payment on your behalf when we submit your CS, and we require you to reimburse us the £13.

2.13 Our free company formation has the following conditions attached;
a. No charge for the formation of a new ltd company will apply if you use and pay for our monthly accounting service for a minimum of one month; b. If you decide not to go ahead with our accounting service for whatever reason, a fee of £50 + VAT will be charged for the company formation. Additionally, if you require assistance to closedown your newly formed company with Companies House, we will charge a closedown fee of £10 + VAT.

2.14 Subject to 2.15 below, we offer a 10% discount on our monthly accounting fee for each new customer you refer to our accounting service. This discount will apply from the first month that we receive a full monthly fee to the last month we receive a full monthly fee from your referral. This referral discount is at our discretion and may not apply if any fee payments due to us remain unpaid.

2.15 We offer a 40% discount off our usual monthly fee to a second person working within the same ltd company. Under these conditions no referral discount will be payable for referring this second person to us. This 40% discount will be removed if the company no longer has any full monthly fee paying personnel. (for example, if a company has two workers, and the initial Director ceases to work, or goes On Hold, the company will have no full monthly fee paying clients so the 40% discount for the second worker will be removed).

2.16 If you make incorrect automatic fee payments to us when no fee is due (or you overpay us), we will refund you for two concurrent months (and if we recognise the payment as being incorrect at the time, we will advise you by email to correct your automatic payment). If however the incorrect automatic payment continues beyond two months, we will not refund any fees subsequently received. Its extra work for us to monitor and track our clients refunds, but mainly it gives you a nice little incentive to ensure you do not overpay us.

2.17 Swap over / Own company clients. This applies to clients who switch to us from another accountant, or who have set-up their own company themselves before joining our accounting service.
(a) We do not charge a fee for switching your company accounting work across to our service. However, if your company year-end falls within 3 months of you moving to our service, there may be a one-off fee for us to complete your annual accounts and corporation tax return. We will always advise you of any additional fees before progressing.
(b) Our monthly fees are payable in advance, and we require payment of your first monthly fee before we can start processing your information or monitoring your limited company.
(c) Non-trading. If you sign up for our accounting service, and you are not currently trading, our Fee Holiday rate (see Section 2.10a) will apply from the sign-up date.

2.18 Additional Payroll. Our monthly fee covers the running of payroll for all fee-paying directors, and 1 extra member of staff. If you have additional employees that need to be paid through payroll there will be an additional charge of £15 + VAT per employee per month.

2.19 VAT registration. We do not offer this as standard for our clients, but all you need to do is ask to be VAT registered. The costs related to VAT registration and administration are included in your Club Gold monthly accounting fee. Our monthly accounting fee is set at the market rate is ensure we remain competitive in the contractor accountant market niche.

2.20 We have reserved the right to revise our fees from time to time. Revised fees and payment terms will be notified to you either via email or by being published in the online account.
