Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance business?
When selecting an accountant, look for qualifications from recognised bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, as these demonstrate a high level of professional competence. You should also consider their experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand the nuances of Self Assessment and allowable expenses. Check that they are registered with HMRC for money laundering supervision and ask about their fee structure and communication methods. A good accountant will offer proactive advice and be accessible throughout the year, not just at tax return deadlines.
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 that you claim all legitimate business expenses and reduce your tax liability. They will also advise you on how to keep proper records, calculate your payments on account, and handle any correspondence from HMRC. By using a professional, you avoid the stress of navigating the tax system alone and reduce the risk of errors that could lead to penalties or investigations.
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 must adhere to strict ethical and professional standards. They are required to maintain their knowledge through continuing professional development, ensuring that they stay up to date with the latest tax legislation and accounting practices. Using such a qualified professional gives you confidence that your financial affairs are in capable hands, and they are also regulated by their professional bodies, offering you recourse if something goes wrong.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer, and can an accountant help?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000, you must register for VAT with HMRC. An accountant can help you determine whether registration is compulsory or voluntary, and they can assist with completing your VAT returns and choosing the most suitable scheme, such as the Flat Rate Scheme if you qualify. They will also advise on how to manage your invoices and records to remain compliant with VAT regulations.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant to prepare my accounts?
You should keep records of all your income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any personal drawings. If you use a vehicle for business, you should maintain a mileage log. Your accountant will need these records to prepare your accounts and tax return accurately. Using accounting software can simplify this process, and many accountants can offer guidance on the best digital tools to use for your specific business needs.
Can an accountant help me if HMRC enquires into my tax return?
Yes, an accountant can represent you and handle all communications with HMRC if your tax return is selected for an enquiry. They will prepare the necessary documentation and provide a robust response to any queries raised. Having professional representation is invaluable during an investigation, as accountants understand the process and can ensure that your rights are protected. They will work to resolve the enquiry as quickly and efficiently as possible, minimising disruption to your business.
