Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance work?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, as these indicate professional competence and adherence to ethical standards. It is also important to find someone who has experience working with freelancers and understands your specific industry. Consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice, not just annual tax return preparation. Finally, check that they are registered with HMRC for anti-money laundering purposes, which is a legal requirement for all accountants.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can help you prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time. They will review your income and expenses to ensure you claim all allowable deductions, which can reduce your tax bill. They can also help you calculate your Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions and advise on any payments on account you may need to make. This support reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and saves you valuable time during the busy tax season.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000. However, even if you are below this threshold, you may choose to register voluntarily, especially if you sell to other VAT-registered businesses. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific situation. They can also manage your VAT returns and ensure you comply with Making Tax Digital requirements, which mandate the use of compatible software for VAT reporting.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies that qualify accountants through rigorous examinations and practical experience. The main difference lies in their historical focus, with ICAEW being more traditionally associated with chartered accountancy in public practice, whilst ACCA has a broader international and business focus. However, both qualifications are highly respected and indicate a high level of expertise. When choosing an accountant, the specific qualification is less important than their experience with freelancers and their ability to meet your needs.
Can an accountant help me if I operate as a limited company?
Yes, an accountant can be invaluable if you run your freelance business through a limited company. They can help you with Corporation Tax returns, ensure you meet Companies House filing deadlines, and advise on extracting profits in a tax-efficient manner, such as through dividends or salary. They can also assist with payroll if you employ staff, and help you understand the implications of IR35. This specialist support helps you remain compliant and maximise your income.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs, but it is generally advisable to have at least quarterly check-ins with your accountant. This allows you to review your financial position, plan for upcoming tax payments, and discuss any changes in your business or personal circumstances. Many accountants also offer ongoing support via email or phone for ad-hoc queries. Regular communication ensures that you are always prepared and that your accountant can provide proactive advice rather than just reacting to issues at year end.
