Accountants and tax reminders

[Danielsjdaccountancy]

Why not ask your accountant for a tax calendar? They're simple to work out and that way you can add all important dates to your diary. You could also then set the reminders well in advance

I see your point. However, I would prefer to be one step ahead of my accountants if I can. I had to send a stroppy email to my accountant about them not sending me copies of my Bank Statements.

Why don't you have the statements?

Then send the accountant copies or a download from online banking if you need it?

I only send my accountant copies in the post as I don't trust RM 100% not to lose things.

I bank with Cater Allen and they only let me download 93 days for each request and then it only goes back 13 months. How crap is that, I can't get my bank statements for the company's trading year.

Can anyone suggest an alternative bank with a decent online banking system?

The only thing I can download from the bank is a CSV version of the transactions that have taken place. I can send them the data...that's not the problem, but it would be nice to have copies. I get the original statements after year end, which isn't a problem. But it would be nice to know that they have received it in the first place.

My Bank Statements go to my Accountant so that they can do my VAT calculations (mainly) as well as update my Management Statement.
