Frequently asked questions
What services do accountants for freelancers typically provide?
Accountants for freelancers usually offer a range of services including preparation and submission of Self Assessment tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT registration and returns, and tax planning. They can also assist with setting up a limited company, managing payroll if you have employees, and advising on allowable expenses. Their goal is to keep you compliant with HMRC whilst minimising your tax burden through legitimate deductions and efficient financial structuring.
How can an accountant help with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant will gather all your income and expense records, calculate your taxable profit, and ensure that you claim every allowable deduction you are entitled to. They will complete the Self Assessment tax return accurately and submit it to HMRC before the deadline. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for future tax bills, reducing the risk of penalties and interest.
Do I need an accountant if I am a freelancer?
While it is not a legal requirement, having an accountant is highly beneficial for most freelancers. An accountant saves you time, helps you avoid costly mistakes, and can often save you more money than their fee through effective tax planning. They provide ongoing advice and support, ensuring you meet all HMRC deadlines and understand your tax obligations. This allows you to focus on your work with confidence.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies that require rigorous training and examinations. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has a strong international focus, whilst ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) is highly regarded in the UK. Both qualifications demonstrate a high level of expertise and ethical standards. The choice often comes down to personal preference, as both are equally capable of handling freelance accounts.
How does a freelancer register for VAT and when is it compulsory?
VAT registration becomes compulsory once your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. You can also register voluntarily if your turnover is below this, which may be beneficial if you incur VAT on business purchases. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is right for you, and they will handle the registration process and ongoing VAT returns to ensure compliance with HMRC.
What records must a freelancer keep for HMRC?
You must keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, and bank statements. For Self Assessment, you need to retain these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. If you are VAT-registered, you must keep VAT records for six years. An accountant can advise on the best way to organise your records digitally or on paper, ensuring you are prepared for any HMRC enquiry.
