Oh dear folks this is exactly why I am not ashamed to confess that I’m clueless about tax. I find it all very scary and just way beyond my knowledge! Not to mentioned the figure of 4k !!! And once again WHAT IS NPPR!?? I’ve never heard of this! Don’t know about ye but I certainly don’t have that kind of money lying around!
I started sifting through all my paper work this morning. I had a closer look at TRS bill, and yes its backdated 2011 and 2012. Would it count in my favour if I ring TRS today ask them to back date a bill to 2009 and at least have that in place by the time I figure out what to send into revenue. In regards with property tax at least that is the one thing I did pay.
The letter from revenue is dated 29th of May so if I were to respond within the 14day period requested that only leaves me till next Wednesday the 12th of May to sort this out. That’s only 6 working days. And as of yet I have no accountant to help me with this. Are you sure I can’t twist your arm on this T McGibney??
I did actually ring my current accountant this morning to inform him of the revenue letter. I also explained very politely that I feel he has given bad advice in the past and that I feel I should seek the help of a tax consultant who deals with resolving revenue disputes and can he recommend anyone? His advice....sure just write a letter stating all your rental income, expenses, interest etc and they will do a tax assessment based on that. He said there are some guys in Dublin that could help but they will charge me a lot of money and will give me exactly the same advice as he did. He was kind enough to say not to worry Revenue just “tying up loose ends”. When questioning him about PRTB, he suddenly had a client at the door and he recommends I research it online and get back to him. So there you go!
Off course as my anxiety spirals out of control here the next thing I’m worried about is my maternity benefit, will I even get any!
I'm trying my best to be pro active about his. I have started doing up statements of rental income, expenses ect so that when I do meet with an accoutant at least I have figures (backed by paperwork) to work from. Once again I put in a desperate plea for a recommended good accountant, anyone??
