HMRC penalties?

[renewablejohn]

It should be passed to you, but any accountant worth their salt would pay the fine for you. This happened to me once, the accountant paid the fine, but if she'd have refused it would have been down to me, and i'd have had to pursue her seperately I guess

 

He refused to pay the fine as it was more than his fee so the only option I had was to refuse to pay his fee. He took us to court and judge totally ignored his illegal act and incompetence and found in his favour. Only option left to use was to dissolve the company.

Hi

 

When I ran a Ltd company, I employed an accountant to file my accounts on time & solve financial problems, not be the cause of them!

 

But yes, I agree any accountant worth their salt would take it on the chin.

I was looking at filing late, but got em in yesterday

But so long as you ask them to post out your username/login before 1st feb they give you till the 12th to file

 

Have you noticed that the govt used to tell us how much they raised .....but they stopped doing it few years ago

 

I think thatduck house fiasco cost them billions and they can't admit it

I have had several accountants over the years. Two of them originally worked for the the inland revenue unfortunately they forgot they left . I had to explain to both they were working for me now. Its not about tax avoidance its about getting one thats bright enough and has some balls to find enough legitimate business expences.

Couldn't agree more

In previous life I had to have accountant who could do audits to a v high level for financial services

Not many are registered to do this

They were 110% crap and charged an absolute fortune ....think five times normal fee

 

It woudn't have been so bad if they had saved what they charged but they made no effort whatsoever.........

 

Its all a lemon

My accountants great but she lives next door so can't really get away with crap service.

Why are people still doing tax returns in January? Do them earlier and then you know earlier what you will owe. You don't have to pay it until end of Jan but why wait 8 months to do the paperwork?

[Billy]

Exactly right get them done in April then you've got all year to save if need be.
