Finalizes your income tax declaration<\/b> for the previous year (submitted in October<\/b> of the following year).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Files the annual client listing<\/b> by March 31<\/b>. This is mandatory if you\u2019re subject to VAT, and may also apply if you\u2019re a VAT franchisee.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\ud83d\udc49 Example: If you switch in January 2025, ask your accountant to prepare your 2024 income tax declaration (due October 2025) and file the 2024 client listing by March 31, 2025. From there, Accountable takes care of everything for 2025 onward.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to wait until January. You can switch mid-year, just keep these extra steps in mind:<\/p>\n

If you switch mid-year, you\u2019ll need to re-encode all your sales invoices and expenses into Accountable<\/b> for the months already passed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

You can still let your accountant handle the previous year\u2019s income tax declaration<\/b>, while Accountable takes over the current year.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
