The year ahead
It’s been a busy January here at Keytime Towers, with 1000 tax queries resolved, and 57 000 tax returns successfully filed during the month. I thought I’d give you a brief update on what we’ll be up to for the rest of the year.
Development
For the rest of the tax year, the development team will be beavering away at testing and polishing the 2010 release of the Accountants Suite. The biggest change you’ll see is the introduction of Client Manager Plus, which replaces Client Manager, and has been written from the ground up, adding CRM, Time & Fees and Job Tracking functions.

As the dust settles… Self Assessment January 2010 Review
The sound that best describes the start of February for everyone involved in Self Assessment filing is probably “Phew!” There’s a certain freedom that comes with successfully navigating the filing deadline. The team here have put in some late nights and long days to help you with your queries, and we certainly enjoy the return to normality that February marks.
I’m hoping to start a tradition, where we perform a review of the filing season just passed, and look at what went well, and where we could get better for next year. I’d love to hear what you think, about what we can do to make January 2011 more peaceful for you, and about what you felt went well in January 2010; please drop me a comment below, or email me at info@keytime.co.uk.

The new millennium bug – really?!?!
Just been reading this article on AccountancyAge and was pretty amazed that such guffery (in effect, iXBRL will have as big an impact as Y2K) is still tolerated these days – take a look here
Whilst the change to iXBRL is a big one and will involve software house working like crazy to deliver it, consider this – any software house that does not deliver by April 2011 will be out of business.

If you are an accountant in practice and you file tax returns electronically, you will probably be aware of this recurring error.
In January 2009, this was one of the most asked questions and generally resulted in our support lines becoming clogged. To help avoid a repetition for 2010, we have put the following advice together: -

Launch of New On-Line Corporation Tax Filing Service
23 November 2009: HMRC launch new CT Online service
This weekend, HMRC will be taking down the current CT online filing platform, and moving to the new service, ChRIS. To make sure that you can file your CT returns to ChRIS, we have produced an update to the Corporation Tax module and this will be released shortly.
You will need to install this update from 9am on Monday 23rd November
Updating is a doddle, as you can update from within Client Manager. Simply open Client Manager (Start // All Programs // Keytime // Client Manager), then select Update Accountants Suite from the Help // About menu.
