Jeez, what am I paying these guys for?
Accountant has just sent me my PAYE return for 2008-09 and has made major errors in the figures (PAYE and tax figures way too low, incorrect dividend tax credits amount). If I have to point out such glaring errors then what am I paying them for?
I am actually closing the company and have already paid the agreed closure fee. They stated (in email thankfully) that my 2008-09 return would be included in the fees I’ve already paid for the year. To add insult to injury they now seem to have reneged on this and the return was accompanied by an invoice for a further £125 + VAT! Well they can whistle for that.
They issued a P60 based on the recommended/projected salary spreadsheet for the year and ignored what I’d actually paid (it was less due to time on the bench). I created a spreadsheet and supplied them with all of the “actual” figures again (they’d already had them prior to P60 creation) and have been waiting several months for a revised P60. Oh and in case you’re wondering, the original P60 figures are not what appear on my 08-09 return. GOK where they’ve got the figures as they are out by 90%.
Certainly don’t feel I’m getting a premium service from these jokers.
No public requests for ‘name and shame’ until my company is completely wound up!
Okay just realised what they’ve done. They’ve used the PAYE and tax/NI figures for 09/10 (from April to date) in my 08/09 return. Great attention to detail guys.
