Frequently asked questions
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my freelance business?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, as these demonstrate a high level of expertise and adherence to professional standards. It is also important to find someone who has experience working with freelancers and understands the specific tax obligations you face. Consider their communication style and whether they offer proactive advice, as this can make a significant difference in managing your finances effectively.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC on your behalf, ensuring that all income and expenses are accurately reported. They will identify allowable deductions and reliefs you may have overlooked, potentially reducing your tax bill. They can also advise on payments on account and help you plan for your tax liabilities, avoiding any surprises at the end of the tax year.
Do I need to register for VAT as a freelancer?
If your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, which is currently £90,000, you must register for VAT with HMRC. An accountant can help you determine whether registration is compulsory or voluntary, and advise on the best VAT scheme for your business, such as the Flat Rate Scheme. They will also manage your VAT returns and ensure you comply with all regulations, saving you time and reducing the risk of penalties.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an AAT qualified accountant?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification is a professional level certification that allows accountants to work in various areas, including audit, taxation, and consultancy. AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) is a vocational qualification that focuses on practical accounting skills, such as bookkeeping and preparing accounts. Both are respected, but ACCA accountants typically have broader expertise and can offer more strategic advice.
How can an accountant assist me if I operate as a limited company?
If you run your freelance business through a limited company, an accountant can help with company formation, filing annual accounts, and preparing Corporation Tax returns. They will advise on the most tax-efficient way to draw income, such as a combination of salary and dividends, and ensure you meet all Companies House and HMRC deadlines. They can also assist with payroll if you employ staff.
What records do I need to keep for HMRC as a freelancer?
As a freelancer, you must keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, and bank statements. If you are VAT registered, you also need to keep a digital record of your sales and purchases under Making Tax Digital rules. An accountant can help you set up an efficient record-keeping system and advise on how long to retain documents, which is generally at least five years after the relevant tax year.
