I'm sorry to hear it hasn't worked out for him Lee, but have you put yourself in the accountant's shoes? It'll take them a certain amount of time to make sure everything's done right, produce some paperwork, send it out to get signed, get it back in again, submit it to company's house, etc (I'm guessing the process here, but whatever it really is, it's going to take somebody a few hours, and they need to be able to pay their salary, that of any supporting staff, office rent, etc). The amount of work they have to do isn't a direct function of the amount of money your brother has made. If he'd handled 35 transactions for £5k each, would you think £250 was a bargain? I suspect the accountant would have a similar amount of work to do. Personally I'd just do whatever I had to to find £250 (he's clearly an enterprising guy), pay it, and chalk it down to experience. I don't remember what percentage of my accountant's annual fee goes to cover the corporation tax and annual return, but £250 sounds fine to me. Maybe somebody on here will actually know what their accountant charges for their annual return, which would be a useful data point.
