    Practitioners’ body challenges Brown over filing dates

    Practitioners' body challenges Brown over filing dates

    Society of Professional Accountants challenges the chancellor to ditch moving self-assessment filing dates forward

    Author Writer Date published May 10, 2006 Categories

    Ditching the proposed new self-assessment filing dates has been urged by the
    body representing small accounting practitioners.

    The Society of Professional Accountants has called for chancellor Gordon
    Brown to withdraw proposals by Lord Carter to move SA filing deadlines forward.

    ‘Huge disruption will be caused to many thousands of small accountancy
    practices, their staff and several million clients, with the earlier date of 30
    September proving unattainable for many,’ the SPA stated in a press release.

    Of 400 respondents to a survey by the body, 84% said the earlier filing dates
    were not attainable, and two thirds warned adapting to the dates would cause
    major disruption to their practices and staffing requirements.
