Except you are in Scotland and paying in Sterling. $700 is roughly GBP300 - trust me - you are getting a good deal! Try asking KPMG or PWC to do it and you could see it nearer GBP2000!

I'm not paying in sterling, I use a local Calgary firm and pay them in dollars from my dollar account with HSBC. I don't even think they'd take sterling if I tried!

All they do for me is sort out rental-income return. I earn nothing else in Canada. Perhaps I'd better not name them but you might use one of these to find your way home if lost in the mountains. Do you know them? Am I being ripped-off or what?!

P.S. Just received the stuff to fill in from them by email - it's a bloody Word doc!! For $700 from me each year they should be able to send cross-platform stuff...bah indeed.
