Answer 1 :
they won't waive their fee. You pay as usual, keep the receipt or cancelled check and claim it on your taxes.
Answer 2 :
You have to pay them, they still expect their fee Its revenue you'll be claiming back from & you wouldnt be gettin the whole lot back either.
Answer 3 :
You can claim your accountant's fee on your expenses on your Tax Return. The financial benefit to you will be at your top rate of tax. If you pay 22%, you benefit by £22 for every £100 you pay your accountant, if 40%, you benefit at £40 for every £100 charged. You do not get all your fees back. Keep your receipt in case HMRC ask for your papers/accounts. You won't benefit by a lump sum, or get the fee paid for you, your tax bill will be reduced.
Answer 4 :
Try buying an up to date book or CD -Rom on tax practices. Accountants have a bad habit habit of letting bills accumulate and one year runs into another. Better if you read a bit before committing yourself to an unknown. Try the Internet. Post a Question to the experts. It will cost little but get a printout.
Answer 5 :
In order to claim any expensives you should have actually paid or acrued them first. Any cost you incur to operate your as business can potentially be considered as expenses. You don't "claim back" expenses as such, they still have to be paid out, but can offset them against your income so you'll pay less tax. The tax benefit is you won't be liable for tax on that amount of your earnings. If you engage an accountant they will expect to be paid for their services and the fees will be a business expense. If you don't pay an accountant you can't (legally) claim accountancy as an expense.

Answer 1 :
i am not Advice for you! Question aways comes first, then you type a small comment without putting a question at the end of it! You get better results!
Answer 2 :
part qualified means only part trusted
Answer 3 :
Come over to Ireland. We can't get staff!
Answer 4 :
I am an accountant, always have a job. You should come to the US :)
Answer 5 :
would you let a part-qualified brain surgeon operate on you ? The very first 2 words tell me you're not finished learning yet...I'd leave alone and move onto the next applicant. Constructively speaking, perhaps you could re-think and present yourself rather than immedaitely set the scene that you are not ready for the role
Answer 6 :
Look for a lower grade job. Loads of places look for people who have or are studying toward AAT. Your experience abroad won't count for much as it's difficult to assess and verify what you've been doing. There are lost of accountants qualifying every year (me too soon!) so experience is key.
Answer 7 :
I live and work in the North East - we have often taken part qualified staff (most of them studying for their AAT exams). Can I suggest you register with agencies and do some temp' work? Two of our staff gained their experience that way.
Answer 8 :
I'm qualified to Level 3 I worked in accounts for a small business and did everything except the wages! Why don't you go back to college and finish studying or do the next level if that's what you are interested in. Most people will employ you if you have working knowledge, are competent, willing to learn and show an understanding in the job. It just depends what wages you are hoping to earn. Don't expect too much until you have proved yourself. You can always get your qualifications on an evening course.
Answer 9 :
small company will hire you. Question of finding one.
