Reminder
self-assessment deadline
Don't
forget that the self-assessment deadline is 31st January 2010
forelectronic returns (2008 -09). Paper returns had to be filed by
31 October 2009. If you file a return after this date you will incur
a £100 filing penalty.
If we
prepare your return we will make every effort to file this electronically
- in which case the deadline remains 31 January 2010. However for
those clients who have not yet sent us their tax return information
for 2008 -09, we do need time to process the information for you,
so please submit outstanding paperwork as soon as possible. And don't
forget when we have completed the return for you we are not allowed
to file unless we have your authority to do so. Please return any
written or emailed requests to authorise submission as soon as you
can.

VAT
Payments
Most
people pay their VAT quarterly, although you can pay monthly if
you so desire. If your first quarter is January - March, for example,
your VAT payment is due on or before 30th April; so you have a month
from the end of you quarter in which to pay.
If, however, you file your VAT Returns online with Her Majesty's
Revenue & Customs (HMRC), you get an extra 7 days to both submit
and pay your return.
We
would need your authority, as your accountant, to complete this process
for you.
