Appealing against a client's wife's parking ticket must be the strangest one for me!
I have a taxi driver client who, being over retirement age, isn't very good with computers etc.
During the Covid pandemic the local council introduced a new online only system for drivers to renew their registrations which required scanned documents being sent. For some reason (my client doesn't have a scanner) I agreed my client could bring his documents to me and I would scan them and help him email them to the council.
All went well until the process was completed and, instead of the expected "thanks very much" he instead mentioned that HIS WIFE had incurred a parking ticket in a car park where she had been registered as a blue badge holder. You guessed it, the appeal needed a scanned copy of the blue badge sending! The client had even bought the blue badge with him just in case!!
I also hate the stupid survey you are forced to complete when you log out of your Agent's Gateway account. Every time you log out.
Does anyone else (like me) give the most negative answer available for every question and put "Wibble" in the comments section?
I find that most of HMRC's statistics are completely fabricated to make their services appear better than they really are. One the phone helplines, "We are awfully busy right now, yesterday's average wait times were 30 minutes". As if!!
I went to the staff party last week for a client. The client in question, used to have smart offices when Covid arrived. They are tech savvy and took the opportunity to sell the offices (in 2021) and everyone has worked from home ever since.
One of the first discussions was how several of the team had needed to buy something to wear for the event as they could hardly turn up in their slippers and pants! I think there was a degree of exaggeration but it shows how they (and me too) have changed habits over the last few years.
I still work from home mostly (with the exception of odd meetings at client's premises). My work attire is casual these days, but more formal than slippers and pants!
You can use your agent portal to re-active it (of course you need to request to be their agent before doing this). Talking about HMRC I can see if you are not happy with something you can suggest and they listen to improve it. I like to do all on online less paper, quick and all have evidence.
Great. I am registered for this client and naturally I would love to do this via my online portal. I couldn't see how. Can you explain what the process is to save me, HMRC and many other users on this forum having to jump though hoops please?
"you can suggest and they listen to improve it". You are funny!
You are correct. The losses should be fully offset. Two questions:
1. What software are you using? and
2. If the loss is mainly capex, can't you restrict the amount of capital allowances claimed to bring you to the correct result without needing to waste any of the personal allowance?
My answers
I'll be kind.
For the card receipts:
Debit Bank
Debit Charges
Credit Sales
For the cash receipts:
Debit cash
Credit sales
For the cash banked
Debit bank
Credit cash
For the cash spent on expenses
Dr expenses (depends upon what was bought)
Cr cash
Better?
From the cat I presume!

The rest is history.

I'm still getting these from HMRC. Last one was a payroll, filed using Moneysoft, received a few minutes ago.
I too file personal tax / company tax returns using Iris. The emails for these are coming through as well.

Probably!
