We want to authorise an accountant to deal with VAT affairs on behalf of a company. Does the accountant have to be in England or can you authorise an accountant who is in Ireland? I am guessing you can but would like a more definite answer if possible. Elaine

Hello, I'm just wondering how you get the really nice looking completed self assessment form. When I print mine out its in this kind of listed (boring) format but when I've received work from other accountants where they have included the last tax return filed it comes in a form format which looks more...

Hello, my first posting here so I hope someone can give some advice. I have just noticed that an old VAT return, from about 18 months ago, has the wrong VALUE OF PURCHASES in box 9. The VAT claimed back was the correct amount but the purchases value should have been higher. I did a straight copy from the p...

Hi all, does anyone know why if using T24 tax code for one of my subcontract in EU I'm not getting the box 9 on the vat return filled in with the net amount? I have unlinked the T24 from T1, should I link them again or link it to some other code?Thanks!

I have a client who tells me her previous accountant estimated her mileage for her so that she doesn't have to keep records. I have told her that she has to keep records from now on but for the last tax year I have fuel receipts for about £1500 and she wants me to estimate the mileage from that. I am not happ...

Hi I would appreciate some guidance on how to handle a European VAT invoice, which I've not dealt with before. My client is a small retailer and has bought some stock from Denmark.

Hello, I have a client who works as a photographer for a company. They pay her for the work she does, mileage and expenses. They send her a payslip every month and a P60 at the end of the tax year. However, she does not pay any tax on these payslips or NI and the P60 show a nil balance as well the only balance on...

Am I right that a directors salary (or any salary), to keep it below paying NI and Tax should be Â£663 a month? Have a client (company director) who has never taken a salary before, but would like to start now. As we are in Month 2 should it be adjusted so she gets the Â£10000 for the year?

Hello everyone, Just a quick question for the people more cleaver that me :))) We issue a P60 to everyone who's working for the company at the end of the tax year. But, what about the employees that already left. Can these employees claim a tax refund just with their P45 sent to them? Any link will be so muc...

Can you clarify the following for me as I have been advised that HMRC no longer allow net to gross payments? In the employee settings it askes for a range of hours worked and an hourly rate. The employee takes home £182 so I was going to set it up as Gross 185.95 which works out to be 29.46ish hours per week bu...

Hi One of my clients - an IFA - has just registered for VAT. Some of his income is VATable - some is exempt - I'm comfortable with the partial exemption side of things. My issue is that he works through a company which is essentially a group of IFAs with a centralised admin/finance team. Basically, his c...
