Whats the average cost of accountancy services for a taxi driver?

I am an accountant in Scotland and I am looking to see if it would be worth my while looking for clients nationwide. I already have over 100 taxi drivers mainly all in Central Scotland (Glasgow, Falkirk, Edinburgh)

I charge a set fee each year normally less than £200 and in this day of modern technology eveything could be done by email etc

Any comments more than welcome

Likewise.

Income - Expenditure (fuel, rent, repairs, licences etc.) - £300 miscelaneous expenses = Profit.

1/2 hour online submitting tax return, job done.

Any Taxi driver who uses an accountant is a fool IMO, they'll rape you for £200 for 15 minutes work tops. I do some of the lads on the local rank, they used to buy me 20 ciggies for doing their returns for them. I don't smoke now so I just charge them £7 a pop.
