Frequently asked questions
What specific records do I need to keep for my Self Assessment tax return as a freelancer?
You must keep records of all your income and expenses for your Self Assessment tax return. This includes invoices you have issued, receipts for business purchases, bank statements, and records of any business mileage. It is also wise to keep a record of any personal income that may affect your tax code. Retaining these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline is a legal requirement, so organising them systematically throughout the year is essential.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help me with HMRC compliance?
An accountant qualified with a body such as ACCA or ICAEW has demonstrated a high level of technical expertise and is bound by strict ethical guidelines. They can prepare your accounts and tax returns accurately, ensuring full compliance with HMRC regulations. They will also act as your agent, handling correspondence with HMRC on your behalf, and can provide strategic advice to minimise your tax liability legally, giving you confidence that your affairs are in order.
What is the difference between using a general accountant and one who specialises in freelancers?
An accountant who specialises in freelancers will have a deep understanding of the unique challenges you face, such as irregular income, the IR35 rules, and allowable expense claims. They are proactive in offering advice on cash flow management and tax planning specific to your situation. A general accountant may not be as familiar with the nuances of freelance work, whereas a specialist can often identify more savings and provide more relevant, tailored support.
Do I need to be VAT-registered if I am a freelancer, and what does it involve?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also choose to register voluntarily, which may be beneficial if you incur significant VAT on your business expenses. Once registered, you must charge VAT on your invoices and submit VAT returns to HMRC, typically on a quarterly basis. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is right for you and manage the entire process.
What does a typical accountant do to help me with my Corporation Tax if I am a limited company?
If you operate your freelance business through a limited company, your accountant will prepare your annual statutory accounts and calculate your Corporation Tax liability. They will ensure that your Company Tax Return is filed correctly with HMRC before the deadline. They can also advise on the most tax-efficient way to extract profits, whether through a salary, dividends, or pension contributions, helping you to retain more of your earnings.
How do I choose the right accountant for my freelance business from a directory listing?
When browsing a directory, look for accountants who state they have experience with freelancers or contractors and who hold relevant qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Consider the services they offer, their fee structure, and whether they provide a dedicated point of contact. Reading reviews and comparing several firms is a good way to gauge their reliability and client service, ensuring you find a professional who fits your business needs.
