Mike at Vauxhall Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Gave my ( well organized ) paperwork to my accountant of four years on may 12th. Told him I needed them done in 4-6 weeks, to meet an early July deadline. Had to chase him up 4 times, and finally collected today.( that's 9;weeks) I find this an unreasonable length of time, never had this problem before. Will not be using him next year. Might consider doing it myself on line, as my business is small, well organized and with no complications like staff or mortgages, I have done it in the past ( for a friend) and I am relatively good at maths. I sometimes feel the £760 a year charge could be avoided, I am not making a saving of that amount in my taxes or other ways. Love some feedback . Mike.

grahamparker Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Same as Craig but about half his costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny King Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Same as Craig. VAT, PAYE, CORP TAX, PERSONAL TAX, PENSIONS plus more. It's worth the money for peace of mind and just try and deal with HMRC if anything goes wrong....good luck. Ask around and find yourself a good accountant I beleive there are a few out there.

That's 100% right! I know of a business that the tax bastards 'picked on' His Words and had a full scale investigation, his accountant 'did him a favor' by ONLY CHARGING £50 per hour plus expenses..
