Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for freelancers offer?
Accountants for freelancers typically 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 advise on allowable expenses, help with cash flow management, and provide guidance on IR35 status. Some firms offer payroll services if you have employees, and they can assist with year-end accounts preparation. Their goal is to keep you compliant with HMRC while minimising your tax liability.
How do I choose between an ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT qualified accountant?
All three qualifications indicate a high level of competence, but they differ in scope. AAT members are often excellent for bookkeeping and basic tax return preparation. ACCA and ICAEW chartered accountants have broader training and can advise on complex tax matters, business strategy, and audit requirements. For most freelancers, an AAT or ACCA qualified accountant is sufficient, but if your affairs are complicated, a chartered accountant might be preferable. Always check their experience with freelance clients.
What is the deadline for submitting a Self Assessment tax return?
For the 2023/24 tax year, the deadline to file your Self Assessment tax return online is 31 January 2025. Paper returns must be submitted by 31 October 2024. It is crucial to meet these deadlines to avoid automatic penalties, which start at £100 even if you have no tax to pay. Your accountant will ensure your return is filed on time, but you should provide them with all necessary records well in advance.
Can an accountant help me with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, absolutely. If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, currently £90,000, you must register for VAT. An accountant can help you decide whether to register voluntarily, choose the right VAT scheme (such as Flat Rate or Cash Accounting), and complete your VAT returns accurately and on time. They can also advise on input tax claims and ensure you remain compliant with HMRC's Making Tax Digital requirements.
What records do I need to keep as a freelancer for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and any records of personal money introduced into or taken out of the business. If you work from home, keep a record of household bills to support your claim for home office expenses. Also, track mileage for business travel. Your accountant will need these records to prepare your tax return and to substantiate claims if HMRC enquires.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your needs, but it is wise to have at least a quarterly check-in to review your cash flow, tax provisions, and any changes in your circumstances. Many accountants offer ongoing advice via email or phone, so you can ask questions as they arise. A proactive accountant will also remind you of important deadlines and suggest tax-saving strategies throughout the year, not just at year-end.
