Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work in Surbiton?
When choosing an accountant in Surbiton, look for recognised qualifications from bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Check their experience with freelancers specifically, as they will understand the nuances of Self Assessment and allowable expenses. Also consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice throughout the year, not just at tax return deadlines.
How can a freelance accountant help me with HMRC compliance?
A freelance accountant ensures you meet all HMRC deadlines for filing your Self Assessment tax return and paying any tax due. They can also help you register for VAT if your turnover exceeds the threshold, and they will keep accurate records to support your filings. This reduces the risk of penalties and gives you confidence that your affairs are in order.
Do I need an accountant if I am a freelancer with a limited company?
Yes, operating through a limited company brings additional responsibilities such as Corporation Tax, company accounts, and PAYE if you take a salary. An accountant who specialises in freelancers can manage these obligations efficiently. They will also advise on dividends and tax planning to ensure you are extracting income in the most tax-efficient manner.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious accountancy bodies in the UK, but they have different entry routes and focuses. ACCA has a strong international presence and covers a broad range of business topics, whilst ICAEW is known for its chartered accountant status and rigorous training. Both qualifications ensure high professional standards, so the choice often comes down to personal preference and the accountant's specific experience.
Can an accountant help me with VAT if I am a freelancer?
Absolutely. If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, you must register for VAT. An accountant can help you decide whether to use the Flat Rate Scheme or standard accounting, and they will prepare your VAT returns. They can also advise on voluntary registration if your clients are VAT-registered, as this may allow you to reclaim input tax on your business purchases.
How often should I meet with my accountant as a freelancer?
Most freelancers benefit from meeting their accountant at least twice a year, once for tax planning and once before the Self Assessment deadline. However, you may need more frequent contact if your circumstances change, such as taking on employees or buying equipment. Many accountants offer ongoing support via email or phone, so you can ask questions whenever they arise.
