Frequently asked questions
What specific tax returns do freelancers need to file with HMRC?
Freelancers in typically need to file an annual Self Assessment tax return with HMRC. This return declares your income and expenses for the tax year, and it calculates the Income Tax and National Insurance contributions you owe. If you are VAT-registered, you will also need to submit quarterly VAT returns to HMRC.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help a freelancer save money?
An accountant with ACCA or ICAEW qualifications has in-depth knowledge of allowable expenses and tax reliefs. They can identify legitimate deductions you might have missed, advise on the most tax-efficient business structure, and help you plan for your tax bill. This proactive approach ensures you legally minimise your tax liability.
What is the difference between a freelancer and a limited company contractor for tax purposes?
A freelancer is typically a sole trader, reporting business profits on a Self Assessment tax return. A limited company contractor operates as a separate legal entity, paying Corporation Tax on profits and often taking a salary and dividends. Each structure has different administrative and tax implications, so professional advice is recommended.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000. Even if your turnover is below this, you may choose to register voluntarily. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific circumstances and manage your VAT returns.
What records should a freelancer keep for their accountant?
You should keep records of all business income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any personal money introduced into the business. For a limited company, you must also keep records of dividends and director's loan accounts. Organised records make it easier for your accountant to prepare accurate tax returns.
How often should a freelancer meet with their accountant?
Most freelancers benefit from at least quarterly check-ins with their accountant to review cash flow, tax provisions, and any changes in legislation. You should also meet before your Self Assessment deadline and whenever you have a significant financial event, such as buying equipment or taking on a large contract. Regular communication helps avoid surprises.
