It must be great to be in a position to be able to tell all your clients that if they don't bring the info in to you by September then you're not going to do the return and they can go elsewhere. Please tell us all how you are able to do that Brendan. Just be sure and shout loud so we can all hear you while you're up there on your high horse.
My accountant went on holiday last weekend. He tells me well in advance to submit everything to him and sends me a couple of reminders if I don't. It's my fault if I don't get it in time for him to submit it. Every year on AAM we get a whole bunch of new posters and some old, asking in the last month if they need to do some thing for the tax man. Only last week we discussed with one landlord on here that it was too late to be asking an accountant to sort out his back dated mess of 6 or 7 years.It must be great to be in a position to be able to tell all your clients that if they don't bring the info in to you by September then you're not going to do the return and they can go elsewhere.

You've my full sympathy. My parents were self employed, and 31st October was always a deadline they worked towards, and always just met. Then their accountant made the mistake of telling them the deadline was 14th November... The following year, they just met 14th November deadline.That still leaves approx 10% maybe who consistently leave it to the last minute year-after-year to bring in the info
Human nature auld stock. Always leave it to the last minute.Hi clique
Thanks for explaining that to me.
Can you explain why they didn’t submit their returns well before the deadline when ROS was working well? Wouldn’t that have been smarter?
