Terms · 28 October 2026

Terms of reading

These terms cover your use of ontarictensor.click. They are not a contract to incorporate a company, file a return, or hire the desk as your adviser. We do not offer that work.

Who we are

The site is published by Ontarictensor, 65 Aller Pl, Livingston, EH54 6RG, United Kingdom. Contact [email protected] or +44 7836473197.

The important limit

Every article is general information about the UK side hustle to business transition, written for a public audience. It is not tax advice, legal advice, accountancy advice, financial advice, or a recommendation to incorporate, register for VAT, hire, borrow, or leave employment. Thresholds, rates, and deadlines move. Scottish income tax is not the same as the rest of the UK. Your other income changes the answer. Before you act, read the current page on GOV.UK and take advice from a person who is qualified and allowed to advise you on that decision.

Illustrations, including the jar order in the pricing note and the three field notes, are illustrations and composites. They are not case studies of identifiable clients and they are not promises of income.

Using the site

You may read the pages, share links, and quote short extracts with a credit and a link back, for non-commercial discussion. You may not copy whole articles onto another site, sell them, or present them as your own advice product. You may not scrape the site in a way that degrades it for other readers, or attempt to break, probe, or overload the host.

Do not send us unlawful material, other people’s secrets, or anything you do not have a right to share. If you propose a story, you confirm that you are happy for us to composite it and that you will not ask us to publish allegations about a named private individual.

No professional appointment

Emailing the desk, telephoning, or using the contact form does not create a client relationship, a duty of care of the kind owed by a solicitor or an accountant, or an obligation to answer. Where we do answer, the reply is still general correspondence about what we published, unless we expressly agree something else in writing. We are not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are not a firm of solicitors and we are not a firm of chartered accountants.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, and original graphics of the site belong to Ontarictensor or are used with permission. Photographs on the site are owned by Ontarictensor or used under licence. The brand name Ontarictensor and the book mark are our signs. You may not register a confusingly similar name for a competing publication or imply that we endorsed your product.

Trade marks of other businesses that we mention in passing, including public bodies such as HMRC, Companies House, and the ICO, remain their own. Mention is not affiliation.

Links going out and coming in

We may link to GOV.UK and to other public sources. Those sites have their own terms. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination. We may decline, or remove, a link to this site that implies a partnership we do not have.

Liability

The site is provided free of charge and is written with care. To the fullest extent allowed by Scots law, we exclude liability for decisions you make after reading it, for loss of profit, for lost opportunity, and for indirect or consequential loss. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

If a court finds that we are liable for something connected with your use of the free site, and the loss is of a kind we are allowed to limit, our total liability to you for that claim is limited to £100. You should not rely on a free article as the sole basis for a financial or legal step. That limit is one reason why.

The site can change or pause

We may edit or remove a page, including to correct a figure, without notice. The date on a tax-related article is the date we last reviewed it, not a promise that the law froze on that morning. We may suspend the site for maintenance or because a host fails. We are not liable for that interruption.

Privacy

Personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms where it describes how you may contact us.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland. The courts of Scotland have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from them or from use of the site, except that if you are a consumer living elsewhere in the UK you may also have the right to bring a claim in the part of the UK where you live, and we may bring a claim in that part. Nothing in these terms affects rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

If a clause is found unenforceable, the rest of the terms stay in place. Waiting to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
