As it says, I went to the accountant today, all fine but thats my point really. The routine is I go in, give him my year end printout from George. He then types them into his computer and its job done.
So this time I said to him, I really need to talk to you about your fees. I don't  think I am getting value for money anymore. There are a couple of walk in tax centres opened up round here and they will do this for £120.

He buckled straight away, and has given me a discount. Not to £120 but he met me half way and thats worth having.

Just a tip for the rest of you, it doesn't hurt to ask

Cheers Vince. If you don't ask you don't get.

my accountant is 400 quid.

Mine was getting up to that, so I felt I had to say something, but now he's going to charge me £250 inc vat. They must be aware of these Tax Shops that are opening up. I have two near me each about a mile from where I live in opposite directions. So I literally drive past one or the other every day. A constant reminder.

If you go in with a carrier bag full of receipts and dump them on his desk that sort of price is justified. If you present him with all the information then how much is there for him to do?

[mlscontractcleaner]

The wife does mine; our tax bill is nice and low so she must be doing something right

[P @ F]
