Terms

General Guidance, Not Advice

Everything published on this site is general information about the accounts, tax and regulatory position of the legal profession. It is not advice on your own affairs and it does not create a client relationship. Two firms of the same size can be in very different positions depending on how they are set up and whether they hold client money. Do not act on a page here without having your own position looked at.

We do not sell tax-avoidance schemes, and nothing on this site is advice on investments or pensions. Tidy Money Ltd is regulated by the ACCA and holds no Financial Conduct Authority permission. Signing an SRA accountant's report is work for a qualified reporting accountant; we get a firm ready for the report and coordinate it. The SRA Accounts Rules referred to are those of England and Wales.

Figures and Dates

Rates, thresholds, rules and dates are taken from the SRA, GOV.UK, HMRC manuals and legislation, and carry the date they were last checked, shown in the footer and at the top of each guide. Legal tax has changed repeatedly, from the move to the tax-year basis to the cash basis becoming the default at the Bar, so check the current position before relying on a figure.

Who Does the Work

Accountancy services described on this site are provided by Tidy Money Ltd. Any engagement is subject to a separate written engagement letter and to anti-money-laundering identity checks. Nothing on this website forms an engagement on its own.

Links to Other Sites

We link to GOV.UK, HMRC and legislation.gov.uk so you can read the source. We are not responsible for the content of any external site.
