Hoping MTD might sort out some of the problems of getting the clients to submit their records in time for the submitting deadline.
Oh dear, clicked on something and it is this guy again!
Mind, all I was going to say/ask was "How hard is this stuff?"
From the look of websites, some accountants seem to struggle with simple things such as prepping basic SA returns, billing fees, getting paid.
If they can't work out simple things like the above, how on earth can they grapple with tax law?
My experience (and the various disciplinaries that get posted on here - 29% compound interest anyone?) suggests that perhaps many of them don't.
Some people need to sort themselves out or go back to dog walking.
Philip, I see a very easy solution to your SA problems your firm seems to face
You state in a former article your staff are idle until September, and then work all the hours in Oct to Jan.
But you don't send out your reminders for stuff until the end of the summer.
I wonder if there could be a connection there old boy......
It seems entirely to be an mess of your own making if you allow your staff to sit on your hands for 6 months of the year.
We plan to get our SA in steadily through the year through proper planning, with a combination of nagging, financial inducements and letting people pay fines now and again. Oh and sacking the last minuters.
You refer to Phil as " old boy".
I hope he is happy with this description.
We must be respectful to Phil dude

Phil dude you as a fiscal agent are only as good as your client.
The fiscal agent in the eyes of the fiscal payer is a mere necessary evil and of no great importance.
Tax compliance is not paramount to the entrepreneur business man and if he defaults and is landed with penalties he will blame the fiscal agent.
