I'm renting out a small flat (gross income will be about £10k pa), and had planned on doing the tax by self-assessment, which I've used before no problem for freelance work, but another landlord friend told me she tried doing this originally, made some cock-up or other and nearly ended up with the bailiffs coming round, so recommended getting an accountant. I could do without the extra expense - is it really worth it? Also, any tips on looking for an accountant, and how much I should expect to pay? Thanks

An accountant would make sure that you claim everything you can against tax as well as complete the tax return correctly. I would say about £300 plus VAT if you keep a spreadsheet of income and expenses. Peter

It's a feature of Google Groups.

What does it do? Why does it make Tim think it avoids the need to place replies in their correct place relative to quoted text, bearing in mind that many (indeed most, presumably) people don't use GG but traditional newsreaders?

It doesn't display the quoted text unless you click on a link.

I don't see why it makes any difference to the top posting problem.
