Clients tax return

Can a bookkeeper submit a clients tax return (not VAT registered) or does it have to be an accountant?

Also if a bookkeeper is preparing figures for an accountant what reports would the accountant expect?

I've proably got the answers in my brain somewhere but can't think straight today!hmm

Thanks

Jill

A book-keeper can submit a clients tax return.  You will need to register as an agent with HM Revenue & Customs/goverment gateway.  You will need a 64-8 for each client.  If you are a member with ICB you should take the self assessment exam before offering tax return service. 

An accountant would usually expect books upto trial balance stage.  If using eg sage I would usually give the accountant a backup on a USB pen.  They may not require printed reports, depends on the accountant.

Hope this helps.
