[S.A.J]

I got charged £1410 for my last accounts.

The reason it’s so high is that I became a Ltd company last year and there is twice as much paper work for him to sort out and send off!

Poor Accountants - why do they bother :-
University and years  and years of studing and loads of exams and then they charge their customers a pitance.
How many customers would they need to make a decent living or to earn as much as the average window cleaner?

[xxmattyxx]

My accountant is quite cheap it seems, but I give her my earnings, I give her a bag of recepits, she rifles through them, checking if theyre kosher or not, its not hard doing a window-cleaners return, 2 or 3 letters a year, a couple of hours work, ticking half a dozen boxes on a tax return she can probably do in her sleep isnt bad for £165.00.

[Neil271052]

I have no doubt I could do it myself but I pay £400 a year + VAT for myself for  a big firm of chartered accountants with tax specialists who also do my wifes office cleaning firm and the money is worth the peace of mind.

I've seen too many people being taken in for interrogation by the IR. 

Of course rates will vary around the country.
