Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Fernside Accounting website (fernsideaccounting.co.uk). By visiting or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Important. These terms relate to website use only. If you become a client of Fernside Accounting Ltd, separate engagement terms will be issued in writing covering the specific accounting services we provide to you.

"You" and "your" refer to the person visiting or using this website.

2. Website use

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

Use the site in any way that breaches applicable UK or international laws or regulations
Send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material that doesn't comply with our content standards

Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our website, the server it's stored on, or any connected systems
Use the site to copy, scrape, frame or harvest content for use elsewhere without our written permission

3. Intellectual property

All content on this website - including text, graphics, logos, images, calculators, downloadable documents (such as the MTD Landlord Playbook PDF), and the underlying code - is the property of Fernside Accounting Ltd or our licensors and is protected by UK and international copyright law.

You may:

Print or download extracts for your personal, non-commercial reference

4. Calculators and tools

This site contains free tax calculators (sole trader, PAYE, dividend, corporation tax, VAT, mileage) and an interactive MTD ITSA diagnostic. These tools are provided for general information and indicative calculations only.

Calculator output is not tax advice. The calculators use simplified models and standard assumptions. They don't account for Scottish residency, pension contributions, salary sacrifice, Marriage Allowance, student loans, the child benefit high-income charge, capital allowances, or any other complicating factor. For decisions that matter, take professional advice. See our disclaimer.

5. No advice given through the website

Articles, guides, blog posts, and the lead magnet PDF on this website are general information only. They are not tax, accounting, financial, legal, or business advice. Reading them does not create an accountant-client relationship between you and Fernside Accounting Ltd.

For advice on your specific situation, become a client through our normal engagement process or seek advice from another qualified professional.

6. Links to other websites

This website contains links to external websites, including HMRC (gov.uk), Companies House, our sister firm The Tax Lead (thetaxlead.co.uk), software providers, and others. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss arising from your use of them. Inclusion of a link doesn't imply endorsement.

7. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

While we take reasonable care to ensure information on this site is accurate at the time of publication, tax law changes frequently. We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability of information on the site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fernside Accounting Ltd, its directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any loss or damage of any kind arising from your use of this website, including any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

8. Privacy and cookies

Our handling of your personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page tells you when the most recent change was made. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
