    With smaller tax jobs, firms "hand ball" the work onto their graduates, and a lot of the time, it's not checked with a "fine toothed comb" by the managers. Managers often just oversee it and don't always pick up the errors- like the post I read here about the dividends being put in the wrong year.

    With e-tax, you can just put a total of "capital gains" instead of every single trade. If you use an accountant, just give them your total capital gains instead of giving them a bunch of contract notes that they can use as an excuse to wrack up their 6 minute billing blocks. If they say they need every trade, then go to another accountant. Put it this way, with about 70 trades, think about how many contract notes have to be sorted and matched up- hence, the accountant accruing many minutes of billing to you. They give it to a graduate, and you run the risk of that problem with the wrong record year of dividends.

    Lordoftherooster is exactly right. Calculate your own capital gain/loss and place the final figure in e-tax, or give it to yoru accountant.
