This didn't sound right to me, I immediately decided to remove him as my accountant and get someone else. I informed him of my decision late Oct he was a bit snotty but got over it, I collected all my things when he told me to early Jan.
It turns out my old accountant didn't file my end of year returns, I think its called my B1? This went from Mar06 to Mar07. The company only traded for 3 months in this time (earning about 7k). He missed the deadline, and didn't file it at all.
I'm not too happy to be honest, I gave my old accountant full rights as district of attorney. All documents were meant to go to him, he looked after everything and I just paid the bills.
How did it take over 2 months to get the records after you told him you were moving ?
yes responsibility is on the directors, but I did pay him extra to take full control.
Hopefully I have some grounds to get a refund for any expenses caused...
Maybe the OP owed the old accountant money. If so, I believe that the old accountant can withold info until any outstanding bills have been paid. However, another scenario is that the old accountant was annoyed at being let go, and knowing that the companies office fees were increasing, held on as long as he could, so that the op would face bigger cro fines.
Annual return reminders are sent to the registered office of the company. Some reminders for late returns are sent to Directors homes. The CRO is not obliged to send reminders. If you are not getting these, then there is a good chance that the registered office in the CRO records is incorrect, perhaps a B2 has not been filed. You can check when the next B1 is due here:Is there anyway of knowing if B1s or annual returns are late ? I know you can check ROS for due & overdue tax returns, but is it just a case of ringing up the Companies Office to find out if they've received all appropriate returns / forms ? If they send out a mail re. overdue forms/returns, will they only send it to the accountant ?
I changed my accountant recently, so should i inform Revenue Commissioners or Companies Office to stop sending any communications re. my company to him ?
the fact itself that fees may be owing to the existing accountant is not a professional reason stopping another accountant from accepting an appointment.
if your old accountant offices was also your registered office than you need to get the address changed but check with your new accounatant as I'm sure he has looked after this
