Answer 1 :
i think u can start doing CA after class 12th.
Answer 2 :
Sorry, but you need to work on your English first. Your question doesn't make any sense. Are you asking about admission or something in addition? It's "chartered" accountant.
Answer 3 :
maths accounting
Answer 4 :
Business, accountancy finance etc!! however chartered accountancy takes 3&1/2 years to complete, which is made up of 3 years of class and exams at the end of each year as well as 3 and a half yrs working in a chartered accountants office so before you can get signed off. depending on the degree that you settle on you may be able to receive exceptions from certain modules in yr first yr!!

Answer 11 :
Take pride that your trying to improve your life through education. A person is never to old and to the people that put a time limit on education are the ones who are to lazy to go to class and improve. If you have siblings they will take inspiration from you and finish their course. I'm 52 yrs old and have yet to stop learning. There is something new everyday. I studied to be a computer engineer but when I saw the need for contract managers I jumped ship when I was 38 and have been an accountant/consultant ever since. Stay the course look at the diploma in your dreams and earn it.
Answer 12 :
i think it's never too late!! You aren't too old! You have been very brave to take this decision!
Answer 13 :
no, you are not. I was a mature student, and there are plenty others, colleges usually ahave a mayture students section of the \National Union of Students, so cyou can hook up with others if you want. More and more people are doing it, and with the right attitude should be good fun, nice to have a chance to be an irresponsible student when you have all the knowedge you didn't at 18...!!!! Enjoy, all the best
Answer 14 :
So, it will take 5 years at the most. You will still be 46, you may as well be an accountant. I just went back 2 years ago (I'm 34), to study the very same thing! Good luck!
Answer 15 :
Oh no way. Forty-one is young now. Good for you!
Answer 16 :
go for it you ain't old , will be good they 'll all go to you with their probs, should be fun good luck anyways
Answer 17 :
I personally think it's great that you're starting something new and it may actually inspire others to do the same thing! You have the advantage of having more experience in different fields- and think- who are they going to want when you become employable- you, because of the experience and life skills acquired. Good luck and hope everything goes well! xxx
Answer 18 :
At your age, this choice of career has greater prospects of success than some others, as a mature person acting as one's accountant would inspire greater confidence than some young "smart alec". Be confident. Keep at it. Don't be shy. You are as much part of the college scenery as anyone else!! Do NOT compare yourself with the young ones. You are YOU. Soon the college environment will begin to feel more comfortable, provided that you have the necessary talents for the course. That is really all that matters. At least keep at it til half term!! This is written by someone who went back to college as a mature student. Although I was not quite as mature as you (!), others were older than you. You are lucky to start again at your age, not too old to get a full career out of it afterwards. Enjoy.
Answer 19 :
You are never too old hon. You will probably inspire and be of help to the younger members of your group. Good luck with your new career, I'm sure you will do really well. x
Answer 20 :
Go for it! The biggest regret I have is never going to college. Today's accounting graduates command a starting salary around $45,000 per year. By the time you graduate it should be around $50,000. There is a shortage of accountants and you shouldn't have a problem finding a job. I should know, I'm the office manager of a public accounting firm. Make sure you get the hours in so you can sit for the CPA exam. I'm sure you'll be well respected by your professors. Good luck!
Answer 21 :
No way!! I wish I had the courage to go back and do some studying but I just don't ever seem to get round to doing it!! Good luck and stick at it!
Answer 22 :
You are never too old to learn. :)
Answer 23 :
Stop being so self conscious about your age and get in there and do your thing! So what if you were 82 year old and trying to better yourself. Don't use your age as reason to give up. I wish that I could have the opportunity to go back to college. I would show those young ones a thing or two! I smell success! Now get in there!
Answer 24 :
51 might be too old for a job at the end of the road. The "principles of accounts" and computer bookkeeping skills could come in useful. I think this should be on the standard curriculum. If the politicians knew elementary accounts it would be a good thing. I have never detected any such skills in the local Councillors.
Answer 25 :
Never is too old, learning and education is endless.
Answer 26 :
its never too late to do anything and ur not old as long as ur enjoying ur self
Answer 27 :
I am 37 and have almost finished a teaching degree .... I was not the oldest on the course but felt old surrounded by loads of fresh out of school youngsters (for a while anyway). However, what most of them lack is experience and you will find that you make friends - afterall you are all there for the same reason. I came away with new friends of all ages; hang on in there and GOOD LUCK!
Answer 28 :
Definately not OLD. there is no age limit on one pursing education. In fact you are more equipped now with all the skills,concepts etc. that you would have picked up along the way.
Answer 29 :
You are never to old to learn a new skill. Good on you for doing it and I hope you are successful.

My accountant has just completed my 2006 tax returns.?
My accountant has just completed my 2006 tax returns.?
He tells me that as well as the tax return figure which I need to pay by 31st January 2008, I also need to pay an advancement, both in January and July, is this correct? I can't beleive I need to pay tax on earnings that I haven't earned yet? Please advise?

People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
I've never paid in advance, but I need to get my accounts done pretty soon. The dear old Customs & Extortion would appear to be putting us small businesses out to dry if this is the case.
Answer 2 :
Yes - I have had them do this to me before - although it was only for the first half of a year. I ended up getting a nice rebate at the end of it all too. Sadly the tax man seems to be able to just take money every which way from us and there is very little we can do about it.
Answer 3 :
i also have been told this, i started my business in April this year and i went to see my accountant to set things up , he warned me that the inland rev would want tax up front on next years 2008 earnings, what chance have you got of getting a good head start?
Answer 4 :
It depends. Do you have a job with a regular paycheck with deductions or you are a real estate agent with no deductions? Do you have a lot a allowances (9 or more) Did you make a profit on your stocks last year? If no on all above then look for another accountant.
Answer 5 :
if you owed tax for last year, that means you didn't get enough withheld, so you will probably owe for this year also, and you're supposed to make quarterly estimated payments in that case to avoid penalty and interest - you're paying in Jan and July next year - not now - January is probably for 2007 taxes
Answer 6 :
I think you mean your 2007 tax return. ok here is how it works. basically if your tax liability for 2007 is £2000 or more, then you have to pay 50% of the tax owed towards the 2008 year in Jan 2007 and then another 50% in july 2007. They are called Payments on Account. so for example based on a liability of £2000 for 2007, on or before 31st Jan 08 you will pay £2000 + £1000 = £3000 and then on or before 31st July 2008 you pay another £1000, this means £2000 goes towards next years tax bill. the inland revenue are assuming the next tax return you do will yield similar results and that the tax due is the same. they therefore make you pay this assumed liability in advance for two reasons, 1) they are greedy, 2) so that you dont have to find £2000 in january 2009. so if your tax due for 2008 is say £2500, then you have already paid £2000 and left with a balance of £500, but as the toal amount due is over £2000, you will need to pay half of the £2500 (£1250) + the £500, so a total of £1750 is due in jan 2009 and then £1250 due in july 2009. the problem with this method is that the first year tax return is always the hardest as you have to pay more, but when you come to do your 2008 tax return. the extra £2000 you have paid towards it, gets offset agains the tax due, so in Jan 2009, you wont have as much to pay, or if your tax due is less, you can either claim a refund or have the overpaid amount offset against any payments for the 2009 tax return. if however you suspect you are having a bad year for 2008. get your next tax return done by July 2008 as the payments on account are recalculated and will be reduced to the actual tax due, but seeing as you have paid more in Jan, the amount due in july would be a lot lower. hope this is clear enough.

Why do people need accountants?
Other - Taxes - 3 Answers
People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
Answer 1 :
People with finances more complicated than the average "normal household" can benefit greatly from the services of a good accountant. If you have a business, investments, a trust or any other income other than hourly wages from a job, an accountant can keep you from paying too much in taxes, avoid any trouble with investors or creditors, and even with the IRS. You don't need to have a personal accountant on your payroll or on retainer, but you should talk to a few accounting firms to see if you need their services or not.
Answer 2 :
You only need an accountant if you have lots of money coming in from various investments and/or you are running a business. An accountant will give you financial advice that will save you money on your investments and also help you to plan your income better so that you don't pay too much tax. There are good and bad accountants so if you choose someone real cheap you probably wont save much money. If you are just holding down a steady job and have no other income, you don't need an accountant.
Answer 3 :
My accountant knows every deduction available, AND he signs that page that says he'll go to court if my return gets challenged. ANOTHER THING: He's got me arranged to not have paid taxes to the Feds in the last 2 years. Accountants are blessings. TWD
