[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 3021000, member: 8735"] A good point, it [U]is[/U] the directors' responsibility; however, if you have [U]in good faith[/U] entrusted the matter to an accountant and that accountant has not acted as required and agreed, despite the directors having ultimate responsibility for this, HMRC etc. are allowed to and will exercise discretion as to the actions they take and the timescale of those actions. In my experience, the fact that a matter is sub-j' does mitigate to a great extent, if not fully. There are some tax officials who are genuinely unpleasant and unhelpful, but most are pretty decent people and, if you are not playing the system, they will do what they can to help you. But that is the point, be entirely straight and open - they have a pretty good nose for b.s., and if they think you are being honest they will be fine. It [U]isn't[/U] their job to turn the screws on good people who have had a bit of bad luck. [/QUOTE]
