Can I Cancel Mid-Year If I’m Tied to the Tax Year?
Yes, even if your contract runs to the end of the tax year — here's how we handle it
Yes — even if your contract is aligned to the end of the tax year (5th April), you can still cancel partway through the year.
Yes — you can request to cancel at any time, even if your contract is aligned to the end of the tax year. However, if your agreement is tied to the tax year, early cancellation may result in outstanding fees being due for the remainder of the term.
🧾 Why Some Clients Are Tied to the Tax Year
If we process payments to employees or HMRC on your behalf, your contract is likely aligned to the end of the UK tax year (5th April). This ensures:
-
Year-end compliance is uninterrupted
-
Payment workflows are standardised
-
Submission responsibilities are clear
⚠️ Can I Cancel Early?
Yes — you can still give us 30 days' notice at any point. However:
If your engagement letter confirms a contract running to the tax year-end, and you cancel before that date,
you may be required to pay the remaining fees due through to 5th April.
We’ll always review your situation fairly and confirm any financial impact before proceeding.
