Like the topic says, is anyone here an accountant? My current one is less than good and charges far too much! I would rather pay someone on here than keep lining this guys pockets. Also i think he screwed up my last years tax and i just want someone to take a quick look at it! Actual CPA's need only apply!

Cheers guys

Hey Andy

Ive been using H&R Block the past 6 years and they never seem to fail in delivering 3 to 4k...

Not bad I reckon for someone who has very little to deduct...

I was using my local H&R Block for my company tax and found them terrible. the first year i had made a bit of a mess of things so they charged me per hour to do it. ended up being $800. the next year i had everything sorted for them and they charged me their flat company rate which was $1100 despite them having to do much less work, and they kept making errors because they supposedly couldn't understand things, even though we had given them a few pages of notes outlining things, but they seemed to ignore them. then i changed to a different accountant who took one look at the previous work and started saying "they did that wrong, they did that wrong, they should put that there" etc and could understand it perfectly. the new accountant also only charged me $500 to do the company tax as well as both the missus and my personal tax.

i understand that my H&R Block will be different to yours due to different accountants, but it put me off the whole franchise tax company thing. i also found them very snotty to talk to, where as the place i go to now is very friendly and laid back. the fact that i know her husband kind of helps too. infact he gave me a set of rims and tyres for my boat trailer on the weekend, LOL.

I have 2 group certificates (I worked 3 days per week at one government department and 2 days per week at another), I sold one lot of shares and I have an MBF thing. So it's pretty simple but I didn't want to have a go at it myself because I have no idea about tax.

I've never had anything overly difficult for them to do so I can't really say I've put him to the test, but Karen & I have used Chris Peris from United Tax & Accountants for the last few returns and haven't had any complaints.

The accountants most likely saw that there was a sale in shares, and jacked the price up.

If you made a profit on the shares, then it's subject to capital gains tax, which would obviously bring your return down. If not then you should have problems with that.

If thats it I would do it for you for free but I wont be in brisbane until next 2011.

there was a profit made but my bill is almost what the profit was! And they were fully franked whatever that means but i beleive that has somthing to do with tax

LOL in that case.. E-Tax... it's a really simple to use program and you just have to answer questions.. and fill in your details.. at the start of the question they ask detailed shit about what it's about.. fairly simple.. and cost nothing..

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
