hey Vince have a look in at the accountants forums theres a bloke ranting about a custy knocking him down on his price

I'll bet he is too. Both the "Walk in Tax centres" that have opened up by me are run by Indians and are competing directly against the local accountants are  by providing the same service at a lower price. Simple as that really, market forces. Its probably how the restaurants felt when the takaways started popping up. These places are almost like takeaways in one sense.

these walk in tax centres do they give advice regarding tax saving / allowances for vans etc or just fill in forms ?

Just fill in forms but there is an accountant you can talk to. However, i have found that accountants in general are not very forthcoming about such things. You would imagine they would be red hot but I have never been very inspired. Learned more off here
