- Flagging that you have received something from HMRC
Important: our live chat is powered by AI
Our live chat uses artificial intelligence to answer common questions about limited company accounting, tax and our services. It is provided for general information only and is not professional advice.
Please keep in mind:
- The chat can only respond to what you type. It does not know your wider circumstances, so answers may be incomplete or may not apply to your situation.
- AI-generated answers can sometimes be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and tax rules and rates change regularly.
- Before making any decision that could affect your business, tax position or finances, please speak to your accounting team, who will advise based on your full circumstances. The advice we are responsible for is the advice set out in your Letter of Engagement and delivered by your accounting team.
- Use of the chat is at your own risk. We do not accept liability for loss arising from action taken, or not taken, based on information provided through the chat.
- Anything you type is handled in line with our Privacy Notice. Please do not share sensitive information such as passwords or full bank details.
Full terms for AI Live Chat are set out in your Schedule of Services.
Fair usage
Live chat is subject to a fair usage policy. It is designed for concise, specific questions rather than extended advisory conversations. For anything more complex, we will use the chat to capture the key details, then an advisor will review your query and respond to you directly via Karbon, our Practice management tool.
💡 Good to know: There is no fixed limit on the number of chats. Fair usage is assessed case by case. If we think usage is becoming excessive, we will let you know first and work with you on the best way to handle your queries. Chats may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
