How much do you pay your UK accountant?
 

I think I might be getting ripped off.

How much do you pay your accountant approx per year?

Including what he charges you for completing company tax, payroll, VAT returns, personal tax etc.

I've not checked but I think I'm being charged about £3,500 ish

Do you keep any records or just give him bank statements and a box of receipts? If he does it all from scratch then that's a fair amount.

If you keep reasonable records, and your tax situation isn't that complicated then may be a bit much.

That is a bit steep if you are just a one man band. If you give him the info in a decent form you should be at about hahaha163;1500 top.

i only have them complete my self assessment, so only about hahaha163;600 a year, but they are recommending i form a ltd company to become more tax efficient, and should I do that their fees will no doubt rise somewhat

i just pay the local autistic school to do it for me

That would be 8-10 hours work? Sounds fair :winkwink:

depends how complicated your accounts are.

are you ltd or sole trader? are you registered for vat - do you need to be? do you actually have employees?

if you're a one man band you're being fucked.

if you're a company with employees, over the year that's probably pretty reasonable

my accounts are pretty fucked up
but i get a full book keeping service and vat returns CT and everything in with hahaha163;1500 a year

Limited company - 7 employees - vat, corporate tax, payroll, director tax returns etc...

1400 pounds a year before VAT

My situation:

Limited company, 3 employees, registered for vat, corporate tax, payroll, my personal tax etc.

£1400 sounds good, either you're getting a bargain or I'm getting fucked.

hahaha163;1500 all in like i say
covers my full book keeping, returns and paye for my emplyees

how come my .... hahaha163; .... is fucked up

hahaha163; = pound sign

Is that your personal tax returns too?

If the question was directed to me then Yes

hahaha163;480 last year just my own accounts ltd not vat registerd

basically the price covers everything for me and my team ... we are only small though (5 of us)
luckily he lives local but i know companies e deals with via the postal service

Hit me up on ICQ I can recommend a great accountant who deals with web businesses..
