Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, check their qualifications and whether they are regulated by a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Look for experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand your tax and cash flow needs. Also consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice throughout the year, not just at tax return time.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring you meet HMRC deadlines. They will review your income and expenses to identify all allowable deductions, potentially reducing your tax liability. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for any tax due, avoiding surprises.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, you must register for VAT with HMRC. An accountant can help you determine whether registration is compulsory or voluntary, and advise on the best scheme for your business, such as Flat Rate or Cash Accounting. They will also assist with VAT returns and record keeping.
What are the benefits of using an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
Accountants who are members of ACCA or ICAEW have undergone rigorous training and adhere to strict ethical and professional standards. They are required to maintain their knowledge through continuing professional development, ensuring they stay current with tax legislation. This gives you confidence that your finances are handled by a competent and regulated expert.
Can an accountant help me with Corporation Tax if I decide to become a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can guide you through the process of incorporating your freelance business and registering for Corporation Tax. They will help you prepare your company accounts and file your Corporation Tax return with HMRC, ensuring you claim all relevant expenses and reliefs. They can also advise on salary and dividend strategies to minimise your tax burden.
