Acct is charging me annual return fee

£13. Isn't that less than a pint of milk these days? Actually, I am not sure. I must ask my butler.

Wouldn't MSC start to be a potential problem if you expect this or is it too small to bee an issue?

I don't see it being an issue at all, it's just part of the agreed service that part of the accountants fees covers this as a disbursement. MSC shouldn't come into play on this one for me.

Normal. NW do all the work for me then just tell me to log on and pay the £13. No big deal its £13.

You are better off if the accountant passes on the cost separately (as a disbursement). It could instead be lumped into the service fee as a hidden cost but would then be subject to VAT.

No big deal IMHO, it's only £13 once a year.

That would equal £150k plus for people like SJD though. I imagine some small firms will pay it but I'm not aware of any of the big boys that would.

I wouldn't expect it to be included, but I wouldn't expect to be charged VAT on it either as it is a disbursement (make sure you haven't been).

Edit: Contreras makes a good point above re: VAT and disbursements too.

To be fair, unless specified elsewhere, it would be like going on an all inclusive holiday - getting your personal concierge to phone you a taxi, and then complaining that the taxi isn't free.

Like, the barclays personal assistant service if you have a premium account (or whatever it's called) can get you taxis, flowers, theatre tickets - but you still have to pay for them.

InTouch include it. My previous (more expensive) accountant didn't. But it's £13, so hardly a deal breaker.
