Graham,
Thanks for your advice. I'm referring to the irish deadline. Revenue started writing to me in april telling me they had no returns from us - we thought it was all done last october - even did the cheque then ... the accountant said he had submitted our returns last october and that revenue had lost them... i'm dubious. In any case they were inefficient at best or outright liars at worst. Luckily, we weren't charges any penalties or surcharges (got refund actually.)
So, despite the fact that it worked out in the end, I have lost confidence in that firm as you can understand.
And yes, I know the foreign properties require particular attention --- that's why i'm asking for a good recommendation? Any suggestions?
Thanks again.
