Morning chaps and chapesses

Sorry havent been around for a while - too much work and a nearly 16 year old doing my head in :cry:

Anyway - private client from last year (little old lady living on her pension - yeah right!) has asked me to do her trust tax return.

How much do others charge?

If you are feeling coy, please pm me instead, I have never done a trust return so I have no idea where to pitch for this.

Thanks a lot.

Claudia

    I have never done a Trust Return either, but I would not be "over-shadowed" by that "little old lady on a pension" thing. Charge as you normally would!

    With regards to the nearly 16 year old - don't stress! I have one too - an easy one I know - but just remember you were there once!

    Sorry, I know nothing about Trust Tax Returns, but I too have a nearly 16 year old.
    I was once there too - that's half the trouble - I spend too much time worrying about what she's up to.
    I've known how to recognise a fib since that day twelve years ago when she said "I haven't been cutting my hair mummy", but I am past the arguing stage, I just have to seeth quietly now.

    We have diversed somewhat from your original query Claudia, but on the subject of the "nearly 16 year old", mine is a boy, so perhaps that is why he is easier !!??

    Hi guys - still not getting notification emails grrrr and have pm'd Malcolm.

    Have sorted trust tax return - I already do her personal one.

    Back to teenagers - boys are sooooo much easier than girls. They just throw a paddy, then 5 mins later come back and say sorry, they love you and give you a kiss.

    But girls........ they have memories that put elephants into touch. Mine said to me the other day "you say I am stupid" - so I pointed out that what I actually said is that what is currently doing is stupid, but that she is an intelligent person - doing my head in, as she is doing some seriously stupid things at the moment, but is an intelligent person. None of the myriad of doctors that she is seeing will talk to us, her parents, as she is a "young adult" and entitled to her privacy - b*ll*ocks she is still only 15 and living under our roof, and is therefore our responsibility.

    Sorry - rant over now - off to get all 3 of them off to school now - and then turn my attention to something less taxing - tax perhaps :lol:

    Hi Claudia

    I've sent you a pm - my own story about professional do-gooders is too personal for general viewing.
    I would just like to say that I too think that professionals should share information with parents of teenagers. I believe that a lot of these children are not mature enough to handle professional advice on their own.
