Or am I the only daft bastard that leaves it to the last day every year?


Definately the last time I ever do this without an accountant.....

geoffxr4

Did mine last week. If you're filing online then the website has crashed....

Ade

Nah sod trying to use that website.... always seems to be knackered when I need it.
The tax office is just down the road so I'll be running in at 5pm like last year


Hate doing this shit, don't know how people can actually do this as their job

Had a couple in years past, threw them in the bin, dunno why they sent them to me

both my parents do tax returns at accountants but at different places and trust me januarys are a nightmare for them my dad does 7 day weeks and my mum normally is only a part timer but works 8-4 all week thogutout the month. So your not the only one leaving it late

bookwyse

Quite easy.

I do it every day of the year and get fed loads of work from the local accountants at this time of year. Can usually rake in circa 10k between two of us for three weeks work in Jan.

Ade

Got it in just in time

I don't envy you guys..... even if the money was ten times that I still couldn't stomach working on that kinda stuff day in day out.

C4llyT

Wouldn't do 3 weeks work a year for £50k?

Ade

I hate that kinda shit so bad I'd really have to think about it

Deffo wouldn't do it full time even if it was 50k a month all year... I would actually loose my mind

roll on me rebate

Linsay

Promised myself not doing them for anyone next year, all done by monday and vat returns due as well, might actually get some time to myself now

Big G

Got a reminder through even though I am coming upto doing 2 years PAYE, rung em up and told to fill out the forms to say who I work for etc as they have no record,
G = "Strange that as I pay tax and NI every week out of my wage"
Tax - "Well your not on our system"
G - "Thats because your shit"
Tax - "Fill out the forms when they arrive"

So i put in the notes section
"BEEN ON PAYE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS SO STOP MITHERING THE POOR"


Dount they will take any notice

Lee Reynolds

Fuck that pay an accountant

fuzzy

i had mine returned within a week of receiving it last april and had spent my £1000 rebate by june.roll on this years

Big G

I used to when I was self employed, I always got a rebate of double his fee's

Lee Reynolds

We paid next to nothing tax this years and have had loads of VAT back. Good accountants worth their weight in gold...mind you ours is a right fat fooker so am not so sure

Ade

I'll be doing exactly that with my next one..... feel like I just wasted a week of my life there

yellowsierra

Yep me too

Tis what accountants are for init
Claim for just about everything

rst deany

ive just posted myne

Redkop

On the news this morning that the Tax Office have extended the deadline of yesterday by 24 hours.

benrs2000

posted mine and the tax man has just told me i o him 3.6k what a cock robbing cunts

yellowsierra

You must have known you had that coming as its 20% of what you filed that you earnt

I do my accounts but then give then to my Accountant who then fine tunes it and finds things to claim for

The more you do in preping your own accounts , the less there is for your Accountant to charge you for, but what ever they do charge you is more than off set in what they will save you

I got £300 of my bill for for example for "using the home as an office" which was what i filed as the time i spend doing my accounts. I.E One days Labour

Clothing, Tools, Mobile Phones, Petrol etc etc, we all know about, its the things that we dont know about that add up
For Instance whatever your Accountant charges you comes back to you as well as that can be offset

This year i only got £1200 coming back were as last year i got the best part of 2k
