Frequently asked questions
What records do I need to keep for my sole trader tax return?
You need to keep records of all your income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, and bank statements. This includes money spent on equipment, travel, and office costs. Keeping accurate records throughout the year makes completing your Self Assessment much simpler and ensures you claim every allowable deduction. Your accountant can help you organise these records efficiently.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help with HMRC enquiries?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax return, an accountant with ACCA or ICAEW qualifications can represent you and handle all communication. They will prepare the necessary documents, explain your position clearly, and work to resolve the enquiry as smoothly as possible. Their professional expertise reduces your stress and helps protect your interests throughout the process.
When should I register for VAT as a sole trader?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also choose to register voluntarily if it benefits your business, for example if you sell to VAT-registered clients. An accountant can advise on the best timing and help you manage your VAT returns and payments accurately.
What expenses can I claim as a sole trader?
You can claim expenses that are wholly and exclusively for business purposes. This includes office supplies, travel costs, professional fees, and a proportion of your home costs if you work from home. You can also claim for equipment and software. Keeping detailed records ensures you claim everything you are entitled to, and an accountant can help you identify less obvious deductions.
How often do I need to submit a Self Assessment tax return?
As a sole trader, you must submit a Self Assessment tax return each year, covering the tax year which runs from 6 April to 5 April. The deadline for online submissions is usually 31 January following the end of the tax year. Your accountant will ensure your return is filed on time and that you pay the correct amount of tax.
Can an accountant help me with late tax payments or penalties?
Yes, an accountant can help you deal with HMRC if you have missed a deadline or cannot pay your tax bill on time. They can negotiate a payment plan on your behalf and may be able to reduce penalties by providing a reasonable excuse. Their experience with HMRC procedures ensures you receive the best possible outcome.
