Accountant authorization for tax purpose?

Feb 25, 2004 1 Replies

When I filed my first SA through an accountant several years ago, I was asked to sign a letter of authorization for him to handle all my tax affairs. Is this a standard practice? If I wish to file my next SA directly myself, do I need to cancel this authorization?



Thanks, -JK.

Yes

No need to, but your accountant might cancel it for you as he may not want to assist you any more if you try to DIY. I've had ex-clients come back for assistance when things have gone wrong as a result of DIY, and I've said "tuff!!" (Only more politely, but with that meaning).
