I have to request info from my client. It would be nice to see all the questions in advance to avoid me sending a dozen requests as they appear. Perhaps I could leave the NI number blank as I move on to the next page?
It doesn't seem to let me advance as my newly formed company doesn't have a UTR yet. This takes about 2 weeks and was not required before. This delays the VAT registration unnecessarily.
Using your option 2. Why would you not submit the VAT return?
I am expecting no extra fees. After all, we currently check the VAT return along with the bank recs and the rest of the balance sheet before confirming with client. We then choose to transpose the 9 boxes onto the VAT return (although arguably we should just submit on the cloud based system). If anything this is a small time saving exercise.
Thanks for this tip. I've watched the free demo and this demonstrates the future of CPD as far as I'm concerned. A discussional format rather than the lecture type slides makes it a more interesting viewing. I recently signed up to an annual subscription of monthly updates from BPP, which I thought was good but TAXtv has topped that (and is cheaper!)
This is a stepping stone towards an Tax/Accounting TV channel to subscribe to, which I'm sure I read was on the way. It should become infinitely popular across the profession before long.
