If you come to see us, then we can apply over the Internet for a UTR immediately.

We have lots of new technology and can prepare a set of accounts very quickly if we need to, but no UTR means no tax return can be filed, which means a hundred pound fine for you if you miss the January 31st deadline. Get that UTR!

If it is an emergency, then after applying for your UTR we can e-mail you the details to telephone HMRC and get the UTR straight away.

If you miss the deadline, then you still need to file a tax return at some point, so you will be a hundred pounds poorer for no good reason. We can do it all rapidly, but there is one weak link in the chain concerning a UTR. Get that UTR!

Once we know the UTR, we will check it and then we can use it at once to file your tax return.

We can scan your bank statements using optical character recognition backed up by our computer-assisted blink comparator, and after that accounts preparation is all-electronic for speed. We will happily throw down the gauntlet to any other accountant who wants to do some speed trials, no matter how big you are. The Achilles’ heel is the UTR, which it is up to you to act on. GET THAT UTR!

We can give you a pay slip and directions to pay your tax liability as soon as possible. This is produced on our dedicated spreadsheet system.

You will need to file an income tax return if during the tax year ended April 5th 2019, you had any income or capital gains that the Revenue don’t know about, or you were self-employed, or a tax return has been sent to you by the Revenue. If you think that you shouldn’t have had a tax return, you need to file it anyway. We can write to the Revenue to ask them to stop sending you tax returns if they are no longer necessary, and we will make sure that they do stop. Sometimes you need an accountant to switch things off!

Everything hinges around getting that UTR.
