Frequently asked questions
What specific records do I need to keep for my Self Assessment tax return?
You should keep records of all your income and expenses for the tax year. This includes invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any business costs. If you work from home, you can record a proportion of your household bills. Maintaining organised digital or physical records throughout the year makes completing your Self Assessment tax return much simpler and ensures you claim all legitimate expenses.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help my freelance business?
An accountant who is qualified with a body like ACCA or ICAEW brings a high level of expertise and is bound by professional standards. They can offer strategic tax planning advice, ensure your accounts are prepared correctly, and represent you in communications with HMRC. Their knowledge helps you minimise your tax bill legally and keeps your business finances in good order.
When should I register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also choose to register voluntarily. A specialist accountant can advise you on whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific situation, considering factors like the nature of your clients and whether you can reclaim VAT on your own business purchases.
What is the difference between working as a sole trader and through a limited company?
As a sole trader, you are personally responsible for your business finances and pay Income Tax on your profits. Operating through a limited company makes your business a separate legal entity, meaning you pay Corporation Tax on profits and often take a salary and dividends. Each structure has different administrative burdens and tax implications, so professional advice is recommended.
How far in advance should I contact an accountant before the tax return deadline?
It is wise to contact an accountant well before the January 31st deadline, ideally in the autumn. This gives you ample time to gather all necessary documentation and allows your accountant to review your records carefully. Early engagement also provides an opportunity for proactive tax planning before the end of the tax year on April 5th, which can lead to significant savings.
Can you help me if HMRC enquires into my tax return?
Yes, an accountant can provide crucial support if HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax return. They can handle all communication with HMRC on your behalf, prepare the necessary evidence to support your figures, and ensure your rights are protected. Having a professional manage this process reduces stress and helps achieve a satisfactory resolution to the enquiry.
