What GCSE options shall I take to become a nurse/doctor or an accountant?
Hello, I want to become a nurse or doctor or an accountant. But I dont know what GCSE options I should take. I was thinking of Art and History because I really enjoy those subjects and someone told me that you dont have to do related subjects with medical because there's only science which is related. But then i wanted to become an accountant aswell, so I was thinking of doing Business Studies and History but i really enjoy Art, so what shall I take?? Please help me.. does it really matter at this stage what you want to take? Or is it A Levels that is more important in what you choose?? Pleaseee helppp.. thanks! also, do you need to do 2 languages to become an accountant or doctor or nurse? no, we're only allowed to do 2 optionaal subjects and 1 reserve..

Answer 1 :
A levels matter far more than GCSE's. Just make sure to take subjects you like doing, that is the most important thing. When universities look at GCSE's, they will most likely look at the grade range and not subject choice.
Answer 2 :
Doctor: Maths English Biology First Aid Accountant: Maths English Business Studies Bookkeeping Not very many schools do all of these though, so good luck.
Answer 3 :
art and business studies are really good gcses, i really enjoyed them and came out with 3 As ( i done double award art) history will be good for medical history i guess, but other than that you will probably need your sciences, so take triple science if your school offers that. Also try and get a few weeks work experience in either a medical or accountancy environment
Answer 4 :
It is A Levels that count, so don't worry. Definitely take History - this is well respected and needed for the new government English Baccalaureate. If you are not already taking a language, make sure to take one, because you also need a language for the EB. When it comes to Art and Business Studies, I personally would recommend Business. This is EASY to get an A* in and is also very interesting (always a plus). With Art, THOUSANDS of candidates get literally 100% and then the grade boundaries start getting ridiculous, so unless you are amazing at Art, I'd say go with Business Studies, since you'll almost definitely get a better grade in it. Business was really interesting when I did it. But by all means take Art if you really LOVE it! And don't worry, GCSE options really don't matter that much at all - you can always pick subjects up at A Level e.g. I never took GCSE Geography, yet I'm now doing it for A Level and I'm still predicted an A*, so you really won't be at any disadvantage if you were to pick a subject up!! Don't worry! Best of wishes :)
Answer 5 :
I do business studies and i think now that is is my favourite lesson, i want to be a dentistt or something like that. i would do business and triple science (if you are not doing them early like i did) you should also chose a subject that you really like, something thats not to hard so that you can concentrate on other things more to get better grades dont think you need 2 languages to be a doctor or nurse i think that universities mainly look at grades depending or which course you want to do btw dont you get three options anyway(: good luck(:

I'm self employed and have an accountant. Do I have to notify Inland Revenue/anyone else if change accountant
I'm self employed and have an accountant. Do I have to notify Inland Revenue/anyone else if change accountant
United Kingdom - 11 Answers

Answer 1 :
No.
Answer 2 :
no
Answer 3 :
no
Answer 4 :
You don't have to but if you want them to contact your new accountant, rather than the old one, then it would make sense to let them know. VAT too if he does your returns.
Answer 5 :
no let that all come out when YOU ARE AUDITTED>>>>>
Answer 6 :
only if the inland revenue deals directly with your accountant. they usually deal direct with the person who owes the tax,
Answer 7 :
You are not obliged to notify anyone about the change. But your new accountant will probably ask you sign a form 64-8 which will authorise HMRC to talk to him about your tax affairs. This will replace any previous authority you signed with the old accountant.
Answer 8 :
No you can go to who you want but your new one may want info from the previous one.
Answer 9 :
You should tell your old accountant so that you don't get a surprise bill a few months down the line for "reminder letters" or "general assistance" or similar a.k.a. time dumped on the clock by junior staff when they have a quiet week in the expectation that they'll be able to hide it in your next bill when they prepare your accounts. If you have your self-employment set up through a company and you use your accountant's address as your registered office you should change that asap. Most accountants don't have ex-clients very high up on their priority list and it could be days before post gets forwarded. As someone else said, if your accountant also does your tax returns and normally deals directly with the Inland Revenue, you should let the Revenue know. While the Revenue are supposed to send copies of enquiry notices etc to you and only a copy to the agent, nobody's perfect. If your new accountant is taking over your tax, sign a 64-8 for him and they will tell the Revenue for you.
Answer 10 :
If you want your accountant to get information on your tax affairs, then yes. But your new accountant should do this for you if they are worth their salt! They'll fill out a form 64-8 and ask you to sign it to authorise them to receive information directly from HMRC re your tax. If you do not want your accountant to be contacted directly by HMRC there is no need to tell them.
Answer 11 :
no you dont have to. normally your new accountants will contact your old accountant with a clearence letter asking if they have any objections why they should not act on your behalf. they will also ask for bit of information such as copy of last accounts, tax return, outstanding tax bills etc.. if they are given the all clear, only after clearence can they ask you to sign a 64-8 form which basically give your authorisation for the Inland revenue to disclose and correspond with your new accountants. assuming that the old accountants already had this authorisation, it is important that a 64-8 by submitted by the new accounts to ensure any correspondance from the revenue goes to the right place. got 10 years of practice experience so i know what mess this can get you into if not done correctly.

Answer 1 :
Wood work or home economics would be advantageous.
Answer 2 :
spelling, punctuation, and grammar never hurts as well. Such as: I'm 28 years of age. I get b's in math. I have good bookkeeping skills. Do I need anything else? Do I need to do a course, or can I do it right away? My sis is opening her own shop and wants me to be hers. Many thanks. See how that works? My Accountant has a college degree in Accounting. I am not sure if I would trust an Accountant without a college degree to handle my business, but if your sister believes you can do it. Meh.... more power to her.
Answer 3 :
The course you need to become an accountant is called AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians). There are 3 levels, Foundation, Intermediate and Technician. Each level is 1 year long and is usually offered as a 1 day a week course or 2 evenings a week course. I dont know how much they cost to complete these days as I did mine a few years ago. However, you may be able to get some help with tuition fees depending on your personal circumstances. Have a look at your local college, they will be able to give you more information about the courses they run and if your lucky you may be able to start it this month if they have any places left. Good Luck!
