Disclaimer
This disclaimer applies to everything published on dgaccountancy.co.uk, including website pages, blog articles, guides, downloadable resources, and any online tools. It explains what our content is, what it is not, and what you should do if you need advice specific to your situation. Please read it alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
What this disclaimer covers
DG Accountancy Ltd (Companies House number 15687123) is a UK-wide online accounting practice based in Torquay, Devon. This disclaimer governs all content we publish, including website pages, blog posts, guides, downloadable PDFs, online calculators, and any material shared via social media channels. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, both of which are available on this website.
General information only
Everything published on this website is intended as general information for UK business owners, self-employed professionals, and contractors. It is written to be helpful and accurate at the time of publishing, but it cannot take into account your specific tax position, business structure, trading history, personal circumstances, or any other factors relevant to your situation. Nothing on this website constitutes professional accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice. Any decision you make based solely on content found here is made on your own account. If you need advice tailored to your specific circumstances, the right course of action is to engage a qualified accountant or other regulated professional, including, if appropriate, DG Accountancy Ltd directly.
Accuracy and currency of content
Tax law, HMRC rates, and filing deadlines change regularly, and content that was correct when published may no longer reflect current rules.
Accurate at time of publishing
We research and fact-check our content before publishing, and it reflects the rules, rates, and guidance in force at that time. However, we cannot guarantee that any article, guide, or resource remains accurate after its original publication date. Tax legislation and HMRC practice can, and do, change.
Tax law changes regularly
UK tax rules are updated annually through the Budget and Finance Acts, and can also change mid-year via Autumn Statements and statutory instruments. Specific thresholds, rates, and allowances — such as the VAT registration threshold, income tax bands, or Corporation Tax rates — can become outdated quickly after publication.
Older articles should be treated with caution
We do not guarantee that all previously published articles are updated when legislation changes. Any article more than twelve months old should be treated as a starting point rather than a definitive guide. We encourage you to verify the current position with HMRC directly or by speaking with us.
Verify before taking action
Before making any decision involving money, submitting anything to HMRC, or missing a filing deadline, always verify the current rules with a qualified professional or with HMRC’s own published guidance. The cost of acting on outdated information can significantly outweigh the cost of a short conversation with an accountant.
No accountant-client relationship
Reading pages on this website, downloading a guide, using an online calculator, submitting an enquiry through our contact form, or attending a free discovery call does not create an accountant-client relationship between you and DG Accountancy Ltd. That relationship arises only when both parties have signed a formal Engagement Letter. Until that point, DG Accountancy Ltd owes you no professional duty of care in respect of anything you read on this site or any information you provide to us informally. You are also not covered by the firm’s professional indemnity insurance until a formal engagement is in place. If you require advice you can rely on, please contact us to discuss a formal engagement.
External links and third parties
This website may contain links to third-party websites, including HMRC, Companies House, software providers such as Xero, and sources referenced in blog articles. DG Accountancy Ltd does not control the content, accuracy, or availability of those external sites. Including a link to a third-party site does not constitute an endorsement of that organisation’s services, products, or advice. We recommend that you review the terms and privacy policies of any external site before using it. DG Accountancy Ltd accepts no responsibility for the content or practices of any third-party website you access via a link from this site.
Calculators and online tools
Any calculators or estimation tools available on this website — including but not limited to take-home pay calculators, VAT estimators, or Corporation Tax indicators — are designed to provide indicative figures only. They are based on simplified assumptions and do not account for your full tax position, personal allowances, deductions, or any other factors specific to your circumstances. Figures produced by these tools must not be used as the basis for filing tax returns, making financial commitments, or submitting information to HMRC. Specific and reliable calculations are provided as part of a formal engagement with the firm.
Liability
This section relates exclusively to liability arising from content published on this website. Liability in respect of professional services provided under a signed Engagement Letter is governed by that document, not by this disclaimer.
Where you engage DG Accountancy Ltd to provide professional accounting or advisory services, the terms and liability provisions of your signed Engagement Letter apply. This section addresses only your use of, and reliance on, information published on this website outside of any formal engagement.
What we do not limit
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits our 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 the laws of England and Wales.
What we limit
Subject to the above, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, DG Accountancy Ltd accepts no liability for any financial loss, business loss, lost opportunity, penalties, fines, or other direct or indirect loss arising from reliance on content published on this website alone — including tax decisions made, deadlines missed, or HMRC submissions prepared without formal engagement with the firm.
When you should 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 discovery call and, where appropriate, enter into a formal engagement with DG Accountancy Ltd. Once an Engagement Letter is signed, your relationship with the firm is covered by our professional indemnity insurance and the liability provisions set out in that letter apply. You can get in touch at daniel.g@dgaccountancy.co.uk or by calling 07858 500979.

Changes to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in law, our services, or our website content. When we do, the last reviewed date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
