CPA accounting firm

sydney1

大家好，我成立了一个accounting firm,但没有资格申请tax agent number,有几个问题请教一下，

1.我是不是不能给客户做报税，

2.不能做保税的话，可以做什么样的业务。

3 如果我的firm开了好几年以后，比如说3年后，我可不可以申请tax agent number,

谢谢啦(monkey1)

1. Sorry, you cannot prepare tax returns
2. You can do bookkeeping, provide accounting/tax advise depending on your level of experience
3. No, you can not apply for a Tax Agent Number, no matter how many years you trade on your own.

you should have a look on the tax agent board website in relation to the specific requirements for becoming a tax agent.
In short, i believe you need to be a fit & proper person who has prepared many tax returns (individual, trust, company, superfund) in the past, and have your workplace or another tax agent recommending you.

What do you mean by you have started a accounting firm? are you a CPA/CA, if you are, you will also require a public practicing certificate to trade.

回楼上，我已经是CPA了，在commercial公司也干和好几年了，PPC马上就拿到了，公司已经注册完毕了，现在就是不知道能干什么，如果光做bookkeeping是不是太单调了，箱去firm里面做，但是很难呀，因为没有firm的经验，都是commercial的经验。郁闷呀

There is really no other way to get your tax agent number, unfortunately. you can't legally do the tax return on your own.
Besides, if you come from a commercial background. You most likely lack experience in preparing tax returns anyway.
If you really want to get your tax agent number, go work in a public practice for two years and get the partner there to be your reference when you apply.
or form a partnership with another tax agent.

看来有CPA也没用，什么都做不了，没有经验，想进firm难如登天呀，郁闷

我只听说过从accounting firm转到commercial的，还从没听说想从commercial转到firm里面的。楼主真是特别啊。

如果放低身价，工作机会还是有的吧。不过对你来说，有可能要从头做起。

没有firm的经验做不了退税呀，现在不是放低身价的问题，是人家要不要的问题，看来是入错行了

CPA适合中小型企业,并不适合FIRM啊，FIRM,不如四大,需要的是CA.

会计从industry转变到firm，肯定是可以的。不过大多情况也是从基础的开始做起，public practice其实也需要经验的积累。如果以后一定想从业做tax return，那没有别的办法，必须放弃一些，从firm的基础开始。好像是唯一的路了。不管ca还是cpa，要拿到tax return资格，都是走这条路。

从基础做没有问题,也就是一年时间吗,放弃一些东西也没有问题,关键是没有机会让我去放弃,只能在commercial里继续混了,看看能不能接点bookkeeping的活

You can still do BAS . Regarding income tax, refer the work to a tax agent and work for him to grab some experience.

I know some people shifting from commercial to public practice, commercial is boring and it's not your own biz anyway.
