Haven't heard from my computer shop yet, could be that they haven't received the drive yet or that it has but they'll contact me when they have the time to do the work.

 

I have two client meetings tomorrow, the morning one is a return visit to the client in the middle of nowhere, then immediately afer lunch another one. Both meetings should be straightforward. It means that I'll be out quite a lot of tomorrow. So not much time to take the computer in to the shop if they were to ring tomorrow.

 

I've made sure that I've already done any client work which had to be filed with HMRC & Companies House by the end of June.

 

Got a phone call from someone this morning where I used to do his tax return (last one was for 2015/16). I did do a very brief review in January 2018 of his 2016/17 income as he wanted me to. Standard rate taxpayer, some interest income and some dividend income both within the zero rate bands. So only took a few minutes to tell him that there was nothing to do as far as HMRC was concerned. Today's call was about various HMRC code notices, tax calculations etc which he didn't understand as the dividend figures shown were different between the notices etc and didn't tally with what he thought was his dividend income. The figures he mentioned were under the current zero rate band (£2,000) and he was rather confusing saying that one of the figures was gross and the other net (but dividends are paid with no tax credit now anyway. Doesn't sound something which I can give a quick answer and could be quite messy. Can't check anything online with HMRC now as they aren't showing me as his agent anymore (I cancelled it a couple of years ago with his permission), So I said it would have to wait until I've got more time or he should ask another accountant. If I did do the work I would have to register him again with HMRC as agent for me to be able to talk to them.
