Well Done Nicoholas
I could not agree with you more. It just needs to be a bit easier to access the information. Last time I looked one could not download a payslip though.
How many trees produced the Nov Statements that we scanned and will be shredded after 1 Feb.
Revenue Post Problems
I have found that there have been a number of cases where the Revenue allegedly sent out returns or notices to file in April but where the taxpayer has not received anything prior to the December "reminder" letters.
This included my own return.
Given that the on-line filing system is still slow and less than user-friendly it is difficult to get taxpayers themselves to use this route - and charging clients for wasted time due to the Revenue's lack of competance seems unfair.
Having a nasty suspicious mind I suspect that the failure to get these returns delivered has more to do with trying to force people to use their dodgy system than failures in the post.
This will become more of an issue next year with the tighter deadlines - it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to issue and receive paper returns after October in cases where they cannot prove delivery of any original return.
there is absolutely no excuse for practicioners
who have not registered for and / or do not use online services,.
I recommned that HMRC do away with paper statements entirely.
As stated before there is far more information re payment available from the online sysytem such as allocation of paymenst etc
