I'm an accountant, I run a finance team at an sme. I don't know much about tax at all. I certainly don't know 'tax code(s)' My accounts are fairly large, span 4 companies and several companies. My primary role is to keep the company solvant, and score keep for the shareholders and management team. My tax reporting is infrequent, outsourced to specialists, and not my primary concern. I look at the cash flow forecast every day. I look at tax once a year.
You don’t deal with salaries or collected VAT at all?
That sounds unusual to me but I’m European. My parents own a moderately sized SME which involves multiple branches and a holding. While monitoring cash flow and dealing with invoices and payables take the lion share of their accounting, taxes related activities still take a significant amount of times.
