Frequently asked questions
What services do accountants for freelancers typically offer?
Accountants for freelancers usually provide a range of services including preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns, managing VAT returns, bookkeeping, and advising on allowable expenses. They can also help with tax planning, setting up a limited company, and ensuring compliance with HMRC regulations. Many accountants offer ongoing support throughout the year, not just at tax time, which is beneficial for freelancers who want to keep their finances organised and avoid any surprises.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can take the stress out of your Self Assessment by accurately calculating your taxable income and deductions. They will ensure that your tax return is submitted to HMRC on time, reducing the risk of penalties. They can also advise on which expenses you can claim, helping you to pay no more tax than necessary. With their expertise, you can feel confident that your return is correct and complete.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies for accountants in the UK. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has a global focus and is popular among those working in business and practice. ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) is known for its rigorous training and is highly regarded in the corporate sector. Both qualifications require extensive study and practical experience, ensuring that accountants are well-equipped to handle your financial affairs.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also choose to register voluntarily if it benefits your business, for example, if you want to reclaim VAT on your purchases. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is worthwhile and manage your VAT returns, ensuring you comply with HMRC requirements and meet all deadlines.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your individual needs and the complexity of your finances. Many freelancers meet with their accountant quarterly to review their financial position and plan for upcoming tax payments. Others may only need an annual meeting to prepare their tax return. Your accountant can advise on a suitable schedule, but regular communication can help you stay on top of your finances and address any issues promptly.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all your income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, and bank statements. If you operate through a limited company, you will also need to maintain records of dividends and director's loan accounts. Your accountant can provide a checklist, but generally, it is wise to keep digital copies of everything. Good record-keeping makes it easier for your accountant to prepare your accounts and ensures you are ready for any HMRC enquiries.
