Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants offer to freelancers?
Accountants for freelancers typically provide a range of services including preparation and submission of Self Assessment tax returns, bookkeeping, VAT returns, and Corporation Tax filings for limited companies. They also offer tax planning advice to help you minimise your liabilities, assist with expense tracking, and provide guidance on allowable deductions. Many firms also offer payroll services if you employ staff or pay yourself a salary through your own company.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant will ensure that your Self Assessment tax return is completed accurately and submitted to HMRC before the deadline. They will review your income records and expense claims to ensure you are not missing any allowable deductions, potentially reducing your tax bill. Your accountant can also calculate the tax you owe and advise on payment on account, helping you budget effectively for future tax payments.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualified accountants?
ACCA and ICAEW are chartered accountancy bodies that require members to complete rigorous examinations and practical experience, qualifying them to work with complex corporate and personal tax matters. AAT qualifications focus more on the technical aspects of bookkeeping and accounting, often serving as a foundation for further study. All three bodies require members to follow strict professional standards and maintain their knowledge through continuing professional development.
Should I register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold set by HMRC. However, even if your turnover is below this threshold, voluntary registration might be beneficial depending on your client base. If most of your clients are VAT-registered businesses, you may be able to reclaim VAT on your own business purchases. An accountant can analyse your specific situation and advise whether voluntary registration is advantageous for your freelance business.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income received, including invoices issued and payments from clients, along with receipts for any business expenses you incur. If you operate through a limited company, you also need to maintain records of dividends and director's loan transactions. Keeping your records organised throughout the year, whether using spreadsheets or accounting software, makes it much easier for your accountant to prepare your tax return and provide accurate advice.
How often should I communicate with my accountant?
Regular communication is recommended to ensure your financial records remain up to date and you receive timely advice. Many freelancers speak with their accountant quarterly to review their financial position, discuss cash flow, and plan for upcoming tax payments. You should also contact your accountant whenever you experience significant changes, such as taking on a large new contract, changing your business structure, or making a major purchase related to your work.
