    Poor service by accountant?

    What about having to poke them to file VAT and Payroll submissions just before deadline? I get that people are overwhelmed with Coronavirus, but I'm not too thrilled at having to keep this on my mind and prod them about it.

    IPSE/QDos renewal, IR35 insurance seems sketchy

    Hi all, a friend who's a foreign resident just had their parent die and they now need to sort out renting out the apartment they've just inherited. Can anyone recommend someone reliable who deals with this sort of thing?

    IPSE/QDos renewal, IR35 insurance seems sketchy

    Hi, I was looking into QDOS's TLC35 (the more expensive package, which covers the cost of any penalties along with the cost of representation) and hit a quandary: in order to be covered by it you have to agree that • You are able to exercise a Right of Substitution • You have autonomy over your...
