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 qualified and regulated by a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. They should have experience working with freelancers and understand the specific tax rules that apply to you. It is also important to consider their communication style and availability, as you will need to share financial information regularly. Check whether they offer services that match your needs, such as Self Assessment, VAT, or Corporation Tax, and ask about their fees upfront.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return on your behalf, ensuring that all income and allowable expenses are correctly recorded. They will also calculate the tax you owe and advise on any payments on account. By using their expertise, you can reduce the risk of errors and penalties. They can also help you plan ahead by suggesting ways to lower your tax bill through legitimate deductions and reliefs.
What are the benefits of using an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW are professional bodies that set high standards for education, ethics, and practice. Accountants who are members of these organisations have passed rigorous exams and must complete continuous professional development. They are also subject to disciplinary procedures, which provides added protection for clients. Using a qualified accountant gives you confidence that your financial affairs are handled by someone with proven expertise and a commitment to professional conduct.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £85,000. Even if your turnover is below this, you may choose to register voluntarily, especially if you work with VAT-registered clients who can reclaim the VAT you charge. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific circumstances and can help you complete the registration process and submit VAT returns.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can provide essential support for freelancers who run their own limited company. They can help with company formation, prepare annual accounts, and file Corporation Tax returns. They will also manage your payroll if you take a salary and can advise on dividend payments to optimise your tax position. Having an accountant ensures that you meet all Companies House and HMRC deadlines, avoiding penalties and keeping your company in good standing.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs and the level of support you require. Many freelancers meet with their accountant quarterly to review their financial position and plan for upcoming tax payments. Others only contact their accountant at year-end to prepare their tax return. A proactive accountant will offer ongoing advice and may check in with you periodically. You can agree on a schedule that works for you, ensuring that you receive the right level of support throughout the year.
