Terms of Service

Key Information

1. Acceptance of Terms

By registering for, accessing, or using MerxTax, you (“User”, “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you are using MerxTax on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use MerxTax. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified 30 days in advance by email.

2. Description of Service

MerxTax is a Making Tax Digital (MTD) software platform developed and operated by Merx Digital Solutions Ltd that provides digital record-keeping, receipt capture, MTD quarterly submissions, invoicing, compliance monitoring, and AI-powered tax guidance. Full module details are available at merxtax.co.uk.

3. Pricing & Payment

Free to use: Digital record-keeping, receipt capture, and in-year tax estimates cost nothing. There is no subscription.

Pay only to submit to HMRC: £24.99 per quarterly update, or £39.99 for the year-end return (available from April 2027). Alternatively, a Season Pass at £99.95 per tax year covers every submission for that tax year, including the year-end return once available.

Resubmission guarantee: If a paid submission is rejected by HMRC because of a fault in MerxTax, you can resubmit at no extra charge.

All fees are billed via Stripe at the time of submission or purchase. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. UK VAT may be charged at the prevailing rate where applicable.

4. Your Obligations as a User

Accuracy: You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all information entered into MerxTax. MerxTax transmits data to HMRC exactly as you record it. Penalties arising from inaccurate records are your responsibility.

Account Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and must notify us immediately at security@merxdigital.co.uk if you suspect unauthorised access.

Acceptable Use: You must not use MerxTax for any unlawful purpose, to facilitate tax evasion or fraud, attempt to gain unauthorised access to HMRC systems, reverse engineer the platform, or misrepresent your identity to HMRC.

5. Data & Privacy

Our use of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy (merxtax.co.uk/privacy), which forms part of these Terms. We are a data controller under UK GDPR. We store all financial data in Supabase (Frankfurt, EU). We do not sell your data to any third party. You have full rights of access, rectification, erasure, and portability.

6. Intellectual Property

All software, design, content, and trademarks on MerxTax are owned by Merx Digital Solutions Ltd. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use MerxTax for your own tax compliance purposes. Your data remains yours — we claim no ownership over your financial records, invoices, or receipts.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MerxTax is not liable for any HMRC penalty arising from inaccurate data you enter, any loss of data following account closure where you failed to export your records, any loss arising from HMRC API downtime outside our control, or any indirect, consequential, or special loss. Our total liability in any 12-month period shall not exceed the total fees you paid us in that period.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud.

8. Service Availability

We aim to provide MerxTax with 99.5% uptime. We are not liable for HMRC deadline failures caused by service unavailability where we have provided reasonable advance notice of scheduled maintenance.

9. Termination

By You: You may close your account at any time from your account settings or by emailing support@merxtax.co.uk.

By Us: We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay any fee due, or we are required to do so by law.

Data on Termination: You have 30 days after account closure to download your data. After 30 days, your data will be anonymised or deleted. We will send a reminder email 7 days before deletion. It is your legal responsibility to retain tax records for the statutory period.

10. Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of any purchase under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This right may not apply once a quarterly update or year-end return you paid for has been submitted to HMRC within that period. To exercise this right, email support@merxtax.co.uk.

11. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Before commencing legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation for 30 days.
