Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, look for someone who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. This ensures they meet high standards of expertise and ethics. Additionally, consider their experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand your unique tax and financial needs. It is also wise to check their familiarity with HMRC procedures and whether they offer services that match your situation, such as Self Assessment or VAT support.
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. They will help you organise your income and expense records, identify allowable deductions, and calculate your tax liability correctly. They can also advise on payments on account and ensure you meet all HMRC deadlines, reducing the risk of penalties. This support saves you time and gives you confidence that your return is correct.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
VAT registration is compulsory if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you may choose to register voluntarily if you wish to reclaim VAT on business purchases. An accountant can assess your situation and advise on whether registration is beneficial. They can also handle your VAT returns and ensure you comply with HMRC regulations, helping you avoid errors and penalties.
What is the difference between ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants?
ACCA and ICAEW are both prestigious professional bodies for accountants in the UK. ACCA has a global focus and is popular among those working in business and practice, whilst ICAEW is known for its strong emphasis on chartered accountancy and is highly regarded in the corporate sector. Both qualifications require rigorous training and examinations. When choosing, consider the accountant's experience and specialisation rather than just the designation, as both are equally credible.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can provide invaluable support if you run your freelance business through a limited company. They can help with company formation, prepare annual accounts, and file your Corporation Tax return. They will also advise on salary and dividend payments, ensuring you are tax-efficient. Additionally, they can manage your company's statutory filings and ensure compliance with Companies House and HMRC requirements, giving you peace of mind.
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 their financial position and plan for tax payments. Others may only require annual meetings for tax return preparation. Your accountant can suggest a schedule that suits you. Regular contact is beneficial to ensure you are on track with your obligations and to make the most of any tax planning opportunities.
