Woo hoo. 13 days to go. 15 People to start, 55 people to chase, and 49 people not sent anything in. So those 68 could all be finished by the end of this coming week and I can go to the spa for the last week of January.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

So - I end the calendar year with 42 tax returns ready to start (ideally by Sunday), 98 that I am waiting for clients to reply to, and another 75 that have not sent me anything. That totals 215 in theory to do in January. The lowest figure for many years.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

OK - been working mega hard. In the scheme of things, there are 279 returns left to do out of 668, but 95 people have not sent me anything yet. so 184 to crack on with - 83 available to start and 101 stuck with clients I may have to work christmas AGAIN !!!!!

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@RChathubtm59970 This is a joke. Been waiting in for a parcel to be delivered AGAIN. and get an email to say it "We've received a request not to deliver mail to the property your item is addressed to today". Is this a joke? I never asked for it not to be delivered.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@RoyalMailHelp I have been waiting in all day for my 1pm Parcel. got hold of the tracking number and 13.26 said out for delivery, then it said you tried to deliver but nobody in. Absolute Rubbish. £10 next day Service. Rubbish. RG12 9

Today is the day I would like to stick 2 fingers to my institute for complete inflexible rules, providing no support to the sole practitioner building a sizable practice and fail to provide any value for money. If you want us to comply with your ivory tower, give us the tools.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@AmazonUK I am fed up with the lies the delivery people put on the system. 6:58am - left near the back door or on the back porch. Hope. Dumped on doorstep, rang bell & left. 6:16 pm Parcel was left in letterbox - It was. 18:28 "handed to resident". Nope left on the front step.

@HMRCcustomers Thanks very much Steve

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers Hi there. I have a client that needs to do a 2020/2021 tax return, but it is closed for online filing and I cannot find and download a paper return. Can you please advise what needs to be done?

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

Today I got 14 letters from HMRC with the 24/25 tax calc. All of them saying you removed class 2 NI, but I use the HMRC portal so there was no class 2 on it in the first place. You are wasting my time, your printing and postage budget nad you want to get MTD in place. Laugh.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers So clearly there is a problem with sending messages about checking for a statement and there is no statement generated.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers Is there something wrong with Jun 2025 statements. Clients have emailed me saying they got a notification to check the statement online, and they have an issue as it it wrong. What appears to be going out is notice to view but only June 2024 there @carolinemiskin

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers Yesl but the message is not about having to file a tax return it is about getting their statement

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers The email says the statement is available, so they go to statements, and it is June 2024 not June 2025. This person was email to say look at statements .

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

@HMRCcustomers Yes it is for the July Payment on account for self assessment.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

8 letters from HMRC for the "revised tax calc". There is no re-calc of class 2 NI as no class 2 NI in the original calc. It is done on the agent account. Can I bill HMRC for wasting my time having to: open letter, check contents, scan letter, email client & tell them to ignore.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

9 letters from HMRC today, all SATR calculations saying class 2 amended. Why, you have not done any amendment as the system calc is the same as your letter. What a waste of money for print & post and my time to scan them all to clients files, check them and tell them Ignore it.

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

Why are HMRC wasting money posting tax calculations to people that have done their returns, stating that a class 2 NI adjustment has been done. The tax calc is no different to what was filed on the HMRC portal. Filling up my shredding bin. @HMRCcustomers

[Louise Herrington @lou2sing]

So the letters from hmrc have started to go out re mtd it , and i have had calls already from non-clients. They don't belief it and think it is spam.
