Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for freelancers typically provide?
Accountants for freelancers generally offer a comprehensive range of services including the preparation and submission of Self Assessment tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT management, and tax planning. They also provide advice on allowable expenses and can assist with setting up a limited company if your circumstances change. Their primary goal is to ensure you meet all HMRC obligations accurately and efficiently, whilst helping you to retain more of your hard-earned income through legitimate tax deductions.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant will compile your financial records, calculate your taxable profit, and ensure that all allowable expenses are claimed correctly. They will complete the necessary HMRC forms and submit your Self Assessment tax return before the deadline. This service significantly reduces the risk of errors and omissions that could lead to penalties. Furthermore, they can advise you on making payments on account and help you plan for future tax liabilities, ensuring you are never caught off guard.
Why is it important to choose an accountant who is ACCA or ICAEW certified?
Choosing an accountant certified by a recognised body like ACCA or ICAEW provides assurance of their professional competence and adherence to strict ethical guidelines. These professionals undergo rigorous training and continuous development to stay current with changing tax legislation. They are also subject to regulatory oversight, which means you have recourse if you receive substandard advice. This level of accreditation ensures you are working with a qualified expert who is committed to delivering high-quality service.
What is the difference between using an accountant and using tax software for freelancers?
Tax software can be useful for basic calculations, but it cannot provide personalised advice or interpret complex situations. An accountant offers professional judgement and can proactively identify savings opportunities that software might overlook. They can also represent you in the event of an HMRC enquiry, which is a stressful process to handle alone. For freelancers with growing income or multiple income streams, the strategic guidance from a human expert is often far more valuable than a standard software package.
Can an accountant help me if I have missed the deadline for filing my tax return?
Yes, an accountant can assist you if you have missed the filing deadline. They can help you submit your return as quickly as possible to mitigate any additional penalties that may accrue. They will also communicate with HMRC on your behalf to explain the situation and potentially appeal against penalties if there are reasonable grounds for the delay. Their expertise ensures that your case is presented in the best possible light to the tax authority.
How do I know if I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your total taxable turnover for the previous 12 months exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Even if you are below this threshold, voluntary registration can be beneficial if you incur significant VAT on your business purchases. An accountant can analyse your specific trading pattern to advise on the best course of action. They will handle the registration process and ensure your records are maintained correctly for future VAT returns.
