Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance business?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT membership. Check that they have experience working with freelancers and understand your industry. It is also wise to consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice on tax planning. Finally, ensure they are registered with HMRC and have appropriate professional indemnity insurance.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs. They will help you organise your records, calculate your tax liability, and advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and saves you considerable time and stress.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, you must register for VAT. However, even if you are below the threshold, voluntary registration can be beneficial if you incur VAT on business purchases. An accountant can analyse your specific situation and advise on the best approach, including whether the flat rate scheme might suit you.
What is the difference between ACCA and AAT qualified accountants?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is a global professional body offering advanced qualifications in accounting and finance. AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) provides practical, skills-based qualifications often seen as a stepping stone. Both are respected, but ACCA members typically have deeper expertise in complex tax and corporate matters, whilst AAT members excel in day-to-day bookkeeping.
Can an accountant help me with Corporation Tax if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can prepare and file your Corporation Tax return, calculate your tax liability, and advise on allowable deductions. They will also help you understand how to extract profits tax-efficiently, whether through salary, dividends, or pension contributions. Their expertise ensures compliance with HMRC requirements and helps you avoid unnecessary tax.
