    Nixon Williams accoutancy fees rise

    Nice surprise when I checked into my bank this morning - £114 taken instead of the £90 that I have been paying for the past six months! I know it was due to rise but to £114 inclusive of VAT? Struggling to see how this makes sense or is fair when, on the website, their fees are being advertised for £95+VAT which, if my maths are to be believed, is £99.75?

    Anyone from Nixon Williams able to comment on this rise and why no prior notification was given to me?

      Have you actually thought to contact the people you are paying to ask them rather than complaining on a public forum?

        Well, that depends on what you think the current rate of VAT is?

        If you think it's 5% then your maths are fine.
        If you think it's 20% then your maths aren't fine.

          He needs to get a good account it seems. With maths like that I think even at the higher price NW is providing a life saving service

            Could this thread please be deleted? Clearly my calculations were wrong.

                  You never know, VAT may be 5% one day and his maths won't look so bad

                    I will be leaving NW if this is true, regardless of how bad the ops maths is.

                    Can someone recommend an accountant that doesn't take the piss?
