Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications from bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Ensure they have experience with freelancers and understand your specific trade. Check that they offer services covering Self Assessment, VAT, and Corporation Tax if needed. Also consider their communication style and whether they provide proactive advice throughout the year, not just at tax return time.
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. They will review your income and expenses to ensure you claim all allowable deductions, reducing your tax bill legally. They also help you understand your payments on account and can advise on how to manage your tax liabilities throughout the year, avoiding any unexpected surprises.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
VAT registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, but you can also register voluntarily. An accountant can advise whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your situation, especially if you work with VAT-registered clients. They will handle your VAT returns and ensure you comply with HMRC requirements, including Making Tax Digital for VAT.
What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company for freelancers?
As a sole trader, you are personally responsible for business debts and pay Income Tax on your profits. A limited company is a separate legal entity, offering limited liability and potential tax efficiencies through Corporation Tax and dividends. An accountant can explain the pros and cons of each structure, helping you choose the one that best suits your income level and long-term goals.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
You should have an initial meeting to set up your accounting system and discuss your business structure. After that, regular check-ins every quarter are recommended to review your cash flow and tax position. Your accountant will also be available for ad hoc advice whenever you have a financial question or a significant change in your business, such as taking on a new large contract.
Can an accountant help me if HMRC opens an investigation into my tax return?
Yes, an experienced accountant can represent you during an HMRC investigation. They will gather the necessary records, prepare responses to HMRC queries, and negotiate on your behalf. Having professional support reduces the stress and potential cost of an investigation. Your accountant will ensure that your tax returns are accurate from the start, minimising the risk of an enquiry.
