A question for bookkeepers

Have you registered with the HMRC for Money Laundering Regulation? If not, is it because you're covered under a professional body?

blimey didn't know anything about it tbh, they didn't mention it when I phoned up to register as self employed!

Yes I'm registered.

If you are a member of one of the institutes, you will be covered, but if not, you MUST register.

I know, I wasn't aware until I was idly browing through VAT notes yesterday!

I've filled in my forms for the HMRC now and am looking to possibly complete my qualifications so I'll be covered by an institute.

I'm also planning to sit the Institue of Certified Bookkeepers exams, so I'll be covered by that next year.

It's just another thing to worry about (and pay for)

Fabulous more money to shell out when I'm not really earning the fee is now £95 and 1st June it goes up to £120. I'm really cross because I only registered as self employed in December as a book keeper and they didn't mention it to me, it only cost £50 then!

what about Data protection legislation? does anybody know anything about that?

Sorry no.

I'm pee-ed off because the Institute I qualified with isn't covered. How's that for bad luck? So I'll have to fork out £95 when I'm only working 5-8 hours a week.

I saw this thread yesterday and thought 'oh crap'! like others I only recently registered with HMRC and wan't aware of this new registration. But luckily I am a member of AAT so I think i'm covered(according to the list!)

sorry some of you are having to pay out fees, how rubbish. Bloody HMRC never let you know aything

Data protection legislation!!! Haven't managed to face the 58 page document I need to read before I pay the £95!
