Do directors need separate engagement letters for tax returns?

Understand what to do when a company engages you to complete directors’ tax returns. Discover if each director needs their own engagement letter in GoProposal.

Written by Russell Henderson

If a company pays for its directors’ tax returns, you could wonder if each director requires a separate Letter of Engagement (LoE).

Our compliance expert recommends the following:

Best practice

  • Issue each director with their own engagement letter for their tax return

  • An individual holds a different contractual right to cancel than a company. This applies even when the company pays the fee


Alternative approach

If you prefer to issue one engagement letter:

  • Include the Individual Tax Returns service schedule in the main document

  • Request authorisation from all directors whose tax returns you’ll complete on the Privacy Notice
