Accountants that include Self Assesment

I would be careful about relying on this, whilst it may buy you a few days grace, they will still fine you if it is not submitted within a reasonable time, after allowing for any attempt to contact HMRC for advice.

If the HMRC helpline is out of action for say two days, then that is the amount of extra time you can expect before a penalty is charged.

I will be doing my own tonight online, looks fairly straight forward.

Hi guys, this may be of use

Wanda here,

I was looking for some kinda really simple software so I could move away from spreadsheets and writing on notepads. I found this one called Mind The Profit, that records incomes and expenses alone. You can't do detailed accounting tasks on it though. It does look rather neat and lets you view it in graphs and charts as well. It works on Google cloud so you got security too. The last time I checked, it was free. Try Googling it

We do not charge for a tax return if the client submits their return to us by 30th September (we have extended this from July), so this gives the client 6 months to get their paperwork together.

Not sure that we are 'always' increasing our prices, we remain very competitive and existing clients have had the increase deferred.

There are two ways to increase the fee, we can either do smaller increases every year or 'catch up' every few years, not sure which is best but we only reflect the increased costs that we have in providing our service.

Cool. I'm with NW and I was going to check this.

Is the free tax return for just the one person or any shareholders as well? ;-)

Agree with you about the cut off date. Seems fair enough. Otherwise you're going to get people expecting it done with 7 days to go.

The 'free' tax return is just for one person, although we can do other family members if requested as a modest fee of £75+VAT (for a basic tax return).

We do get last minute tax return requests, despite several reminders.

We received 6 tax returns requests on the 31st January this year and managed to file 5 of them the same day. (The other one has not yet approved the return )

We here at Smith Craven Chartered Accountants include the tax returns for directors and shareholders in the monthly fee of £60 + VAT per month no extra charges for self assessment.

As most accountancy firms find there will always be individuals that bring their info in at the last minute we still get the returns submitted on time
