After a delay, accounts have been prepared for the past four years. What happens next?
I recently inherited a client from an accountant who died last year. The accountant’s illness was a long one and she submitted provisional tax returns based on estimated figures for the three years 2010/11 2011/12 and 2012/13. I picked up the case in January 2015 and I too have submitted a 2013/14 tax return based on estimated figures.
Looking at the client’s books and records I can see why the previous accountant used provisional figures. The accounting records are in a mess and it has taken me three months to produce three years’ accounts to 31 March 2013.
Having produced these figures is it too late to amend the 2011 to 2013 returns? HMRC know they contain provisional figures but don’t seem to be chasing.
