As I remember there were 3 types of addresses:
Registered address - accountant's or virtual office is fine (must be the same jurisdiction where the company is registered)
Trading address - I think this is the one VAT people in HMRC want to know, also banks .. so you can't really use your accountant's address or a PO box. (can be anywhere)
SAIL address - this is where you keep your records and where they are going to come for inspection, could be the accountant's place, I suppose, if you keep everything there (must be the same jurisdiction where the company is registered)

I don't think it really matters. If HMRC want to conduct an investigation they'll more than likely do it my appointment and ask you to name a place (e.g. accountants).
If you've done enough to warrant a raid (i.e. kicking door down, taking files) they'll go to your house anyway as that's whats listed in the register of shareholders / directors etc.
You're all worrying over nothing.

You are really pedantic aren't you. I obviously upset you on another thread.
Well grow a pair.
Also, your accountant may have more general experience in this area, but it's not really in their field of expertise as accountants.

Maybe I am an arse (to cheats and such like) - but at least I am a consistent arse.

Any regular reader of CUK knows you don't see eye to eye with Bolshie there's no need for you to try to bait him in unrelated threads.
