Should Tax Collection be Computerised at all?

 
I’ve got a couple of tax returns on the go with the Revenue, and I am waiting, waiting and waiting for them to be processed and visible on the online system. My perception of computers is that they should work at lightning speed: why else would I take an interest in optical character recognition? The Revenue’s perception appears to be something else.

Yet the Revenue have grandiose plans to computerise everything. Well believe me, it takes time to introduce new ways of doing things, and it isn’t easy. The Revenue’s existing system cannot report back on quarterly VAT payments or CIS balances (unlike Irish Relevant Contract Tax which does tell me the balance). There is no sinister conspiracy here, just plain old incompetence (my OCR efforts can show incompetence as well). I suggest that the Revenue get these matters sorted out before they even think about another round of computerisation.

A Company which has missed the 31 October 2016 Deadline

 
If your company had a deadline of 31 October 2016 for the submission of its accounts to Companies House, and this deadline has been missed, then you still have something to play for, and you should contact company specialist accountants such as David Porthouse and Co at once. You will incur a penalty of £150, but this penalty rises to £375 after 30 November if you still haven’t submitted your accounts. These penalties are £300 and £750 if you miss the deadline two years’ running. We can readily prepare and submit your accounts within the month if you contact us now.
