Frequently asked questions
What should a freelancer look for when choosing an accountant?
When selecting an accountant, freelancers should look for someone who is qualified and regulated, such as a member of ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. It is also important to find an accountant with experience in your specific trade or industry. They should offer clear pricing, be responsive, and demonstrate knowledge of HMRC requirements, including Self Assessment and VAT. A good accountant will also provide proactive advice on tax planning and record keeping.
How can an accountant help with HMRC Self Assessment?
An accountant can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, reducing the risk of penalties. They will review your income and expenses to ensure you claim all allowable deductions, and they can advise on payments on account. If HMRC queries your return, your accountant can act as your agent and handle correspondence on your behalf, saving you time and stress.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious accountancy bodies in the UK. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has a global focus, while ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) is more UK-centric. Both qualifications require rigorous exams and practical experience. The main difference lies in their international recognition and specific training focus, but both ensure high professional standards.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a freelancer?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. Even if your turnover is below this, you may choose to register voluntarily, which can be beneficial if you incur VAT on business expenses. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is advantageous and manage your VAT returns under Making Tax Digital.
Can an accountant help me with Corporation Tax if I am a limited company?
Yes, if you operate your freelance business through a limited company, an accountant will prepare your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return. They will ensure you claim all allowable expenses and take advantage of any reliefs. They can also advise on salary versus dividends to optimise your tax position, and handle your company's filing obligations with HMRC and Companies House.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs. Many freelancers meet their accountant quarterly to review cash flow, tax planning, and upcoming deadlines. Others only meet annually for their tax return. However, regular contact is beneficial, especially if your circumstances change. An accountant can provide ongoing advice, helping you make informed decisions throughout the year.
