May be better asking on the hendon mob forum, a few UK pros post on there who may be able to recommend, not so many UK people on here.

Out of interest why do you need an acocuntant if a poker pro?

Thanks for the reply. I will check it out.

As for your question ... My regular accountant is getting nervous about regular income landing in my UK accounts. Because my real job was freelance the tax dept hit me for everything that comes in. I need to sort it out.

Shame you are so far away I could sort this crap out in a couple of hours, the Inland Revenue are always pullng this sort of crap on people, don't worry if you get advice it will easily be cleared up, also keep good record on your poker playing.

Best Regards Mack

I have a limited company for my work stuff and hopefully the inland revenue will be too busy auditing me for IR35 and S660 than looking at deposits from POker sites in my personal accounts. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Thanks Mack. That makes me feel a whole lot better.

Cheers

I have a limited company which I too conduct all my business dealings. But herein lies the problem. Cash turning up in my personal accounts from abroad in US dollars each Monday looks suspicious. I need to get on top of it but I have good records and by the sounds of Mack's message I should have no probs.

Cheers
