Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, verify that they hold a recognised qualification from a professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. This ensures they have the necessary expertise and adhere to ethical standards. Also consider their experience with freelancers, their familiarity with HMRC requirements, and whether they offer services that match your needs, such as Self Assessment or VAT returns.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs. They will help you organise your financial records, calculate your tax liability, and advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and saves you considerable time and effort.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Even if your turnover is below this, voluntary registration can be beneficial in some circumstances, such as if you supply other VAT-registered businesses. An accountant can advise on whether registration is necessary or advantageous for your specific freelance situation.
What records must I keep for HMRC as a freelancer?
You need to keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any personal income. For HMRC, you must retain these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. An accountant can help you set up an efficient system to track your finances throughout the year.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can assist with company formation, Corporation Tax returns, payroll, and dividend planning. They will ensure you comply with Companies House and HMRC regulations, and advise on the most tax-efficient way to extract profits. This is particularly valuable for freelancers who choose to trade through a limited company structure.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your needs and the complexity of your finances. Many freelancers meet their accountant quarterly to review cash flow and tax planning, while others only communicate at year-end. Regular contact is beneficial to stay on top of changes in tax law and to ensure you are making informed financial decisions throughout the year.
