I understand that I am personally liable for any taxes or duties required by law, including income tax, national insurance contributions and the proper collection and payment of VAT on sales, bonuses and commissions, and I will keep all such proper records as are necessary to ensure the proper assessment and payment of any such taxes or duties.
