I used to work there some years back. I worked with someone who was very loud and obnoxious and hugely incompetent. While I was there all she wanted to do was chat with her family on phone, and ask clients what they could do for her family. She was never on time for work and did a poor job while she was there. What work she got done was barely done, and she missed deadlines several times. My first week there I traveled to SC for training. I whole time I was there in SC she was calling every 5 minutes with questions, she had already been working there for over a year, really? By the time I left there this other Raleigh person still didn't know what a garnishment was. When I met Accounting person in SC we were talking shop, and she told me wow, I've talked to a lot of new hires in the past, usually they have no knowledge of payroll when they walk through the door, like you do, I better not talk down to you! When first hired and worked with Raleigh person, she shared when she was interviewed (SC executive drove down) they got drunk at restaurant, he barely interviewed her, smiled and said you are hired. Raleigh girl was always jealous of me because I intimidated her, because next to her I was a genius, and actually knew payroll greatly. Every month they had an employee of the month gift, she got twice, and got constant promotions, for what? really?, possible relation to her interview long ago I guess. Raleigh sales person did a lot of cold calling, he would pretend to be both men and women when he called them back since no one would ever return his call. He tried to make me change his gender and call back name, I never did because I had more integrity and professionalism than that. I have no reason to tell any lies. After I left there I spoke to an owner of a CPA firm who helped AAP garner clients in their infancy in Raleigh. She later regretted because these companies tax records became ruined ...read more

I would give this place a 0 if it was offered as a rating. The person I used at exquisite taxes prepared my returns for 2 years before I was audited. The preparer completely fabricated numbers so I would get more money back. They are paid based on a percentage of the return, so the more $ I got back, the more $ she made. I had no idea she had done this, but according to the IRS, I am 100% responsible. I called the office for weeks, with no answer. I called the cell phone of the person who had prepared my returns, again no answer. They offer no help if you are audited because of their mistake/lie!! They cost me THOUSANDS!!!! ...read more

Value Added Tax (VAT) first presented itself in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. Administrated by HMRC, it is the third highest source of income for the UK government. Click here to readVAT in UKinto Wikipedia. The standard VAT rate in the UK is currently 20%, and under EU law no EU state can have a rate under 15%. Some goods have a reduced VAT rate of 5% such as fuel, and other goods are exempt (such as goods sold in charity shops and children’s clothing). VAT Refunds: What is a VAT refund in Europe? If you are not from any EU state and you are visiting Europe, you may be eligible for EU VAT refund as a visitor. Most counties allow you to claim a VAT refund when you export items, and this means you must prove that you have left with the goods by declaring them when you pass through customs. Visitors to the UK that purchase goods may be able to claim tourist VAT refunds in the UK. The amount of price per item differs from country to country. The goods must be new and unused if you are looking to obtain a VAT refund on your purchased products. You should not open the original packaging until you leave the country. This system also applies to EU VAT refunds for businesses. To apply easily forUK business VAT refund,please visit our official site. You can often reclaim the VAT paid on goods and services bought for use in your business. If a purchase is also for individual use, you can only retrieve the business amount of the VAT. UK VAT Tax: Making Tax Digital Making Tax Digital is being introduced by the UK government which lays out a vision to mark the ‘end of the tax return’ as we know it and ‘transform the tax system’ by the year 2020. HMRC states that the core aim of the introduction of Making Tax Digital is to make tax management more operative and more accessible to taxpayers. Under this scheme, you will send HMRC your income and expenses summary on a quarterly basis, which will ultimately determine a more accurate forecast of the tax due. VAT Registration: How to register for VAT in the UK If you have a business and you are looking to register for VAT in the UK, you will need to go through HMRC which can sometimes be complicated, especially if you are a first-time business owner and unfamiliar with the procedure. Most business owners prefer to do this through an agent or their accountants. At More Group, we can manage this for you without you having to go through the hassle of waiting on the phone for HMRC to provide instructions or send you a reply. By having an assigned small business tax accountant in London, we will sort out the VAT registration and all statutory compliance, allowing you to focus on dealing with the running of your business. It can work out more cost effective to leave UK VAT registration and return obligations to the professionals.

November 28, 2017 From time to time taxpayers, both individuals and businesses, may find themselves in a position where they are unable to pay the amount owed on a particular tax return. While its always best to pay the full amount due, there are alternative payment options available to taxpayers if they meet certain criteria. This post will discuss a few of the options taxpayers have when they are unable to pay the full amount owed with their federal returns. While penalties and interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid balance, reaching an alternative payment agreement can prevent the IRS from enforcing collection actions such as wage garnishments and levying bank accounts. Provided certain criteria is met, options available to taxpayers include: Extension of time tofull pay- many times the IRS will grant a taxpayer additional time, usually 60 days - 18 months to pay in full on an agreed upon date. Installment agreements- allows the taxpayer to pay a liability over time by making monthly payments. Currently not collectible status- used when taxpayers are not currently able to pay the liability, but are expecting to be able to pay at a later date. Offer in Compromise- in some situations taxpayers may be able to settle their tax liability for less than the total amount owed to the IRS. By far the most common options are requesting the extension of time to pay in full and requesting an installment agreement. Unless the unpaid balance is the result of fraud, negligence or includes trust fund taxes, the IRS will grant an extension of time to pay in full, usually 60 days - 18 months depending on the situation. For extensions less than 120 days the IRS typically does not require additional information regarding the taxpayer's financial situation. For longer extensions, taxpayers will need to prove financial hardship by providing additional information and documentation to the IRS. There are three different installment agreements available to individual taxpayers: guaranteed, streamlined, and non-streamlined. Businesses do not have the option of the guaranteed installment agreement. While other conditions must be met, the guaranteed installment agreement is available for liabilities less than $10,000 and the streamlined in available for liabilities less than $50,000 ($25,000 or less for business). The IRS typically does not require any detailed financial information for the guaranteed or streamlined installment agreements, however non-streamlined installment agreements require additional information and documentation to determine the taxpayer's ability to pay the tax liability owed. Tax liabilities that include payroll and other trust fund taxes are pursued more aggressively by the IRS. Trust fund liabilities in excess of $25,000 or that cannot be paid within 24 months require the taxpayer to provide additional information and documentation to determine the taxpayer's ability to pay. No installment agreement is available for a payroll tax liability if the taxpayer is no longer in business. While not as common as the extension or installment agreement options, an offer in compromise allows a taxpayer and the IRS to settle a tax liability in certain situations. With an offer in compromise the taxpayer must submit detailed financial information to the IRS to prove the taxpayer does not have the ability to pay the entire balance owed. In calculating a taxpayer's ability to pay, the IRS uses predetermined amounts based on the taxpayer's geographic location and family size instead of using some actual expenses. Before agreeing to a settlement though, the IRS will generally require a taxpayer to sell assets if there is enough equity, or borrow enough against the equity to pay off the tax liability owed. Hopefully you never find yourself unable to pay a tax liability. If you do however, just remember there are some alternative solutions available. Which solution is right for you will depend on your particular circumstance. Regardless of your circumstance though, it is always better to deal with an unpaid tax liability head on than simply ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away. While this post deals with alternative payment options for unpaid federal tax liabilities, North Carolina has similar programs in place to provide alternatives for taxpayers facing unpaid tax liabilities.
