Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for freelancers offer?
Accountants for freelancers typically offer a range of services including preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return, managing VAT returns, and advising on allowable expenses. They can also help you with bookkeeping, setting up a limited company, and ensuring you meet all HMRC deadlines. Their aim is to keep your finances organised and compliant, so you can concentrate on your work.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help with HMRC enquiries?
If HMRC contacts you for an enquiry or review, an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant can act as your agent. They will handle all correspondence, prepare the necessary documentation, and represent you in discussions. Their professional knowledge ensures that your rights are protected and that you provide accurate information, reducing the risk of penalties or additional tax liabilities.
Why should a freelancer in Hackney use an accountant for their tax return?
Completing a tax return correctly is crucial for freelancers, as errors can lead to penalties and interest. An accountant ensures your return is accurate, claims all allowable expenses, and identifies potential tax savings. They also keep track of deadlines, so you avoid late filing. This professional support provides peace of mind and saves you valuable time.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW or ICAS, while certified accountants belong to ACCA. Both are highly qualified and regulated, with rigorous training and continuing professional development. The main difference lies in their professional body and exam pathways. For most freelancers, either type of qualification ensures a high standard of service and expertise.
When is a freelancer required to register for VAT?
A freelancer must register for VAT if their taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Once registered, you must charge VAT on your services and file VAT returns, usually quarterly. An accountant can advise on voluntary registration, which might be beneficial if you incur significant business expenses, allowing you to reclaim input VAT.
How does an accountant help a freelancer with Corporation Tax if they operate through a limited company?
If you run your freelance business through a limited company, your accountant will prepare your annual accounts and calculate your Corporation Tax liability. They will ensure you file your Company Tax Return on time and advise on tax-efficient ways to extract profits, such as salary versus dividends. They also help with statutory filings to Companies House.
