Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for sole traders do?
An accountant for sole traders helps you manage your business finances, including preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return with HMRC. They also advise on allowable expenses, record keeping, and tax planning. Their goal is to ensure you meet your legal obligations whilst maximising your profitability and reducing your tax bill where possible.
How do I choose a qualified accountant in Caterham?
Look for an accountant who is a member of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. This ensures they have the necessary training and adhere to strict standards. You can also check their experience with sole traders, read client reviews, and arrange an initial consultation to see if they are a good fit for your business.
What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company?
As a sole trader, you are self-employed and personally responsible for your business debts. You pay Income Tax and National Insurance through Self Assessment. A limited company is a separate legal entity, meaning you pay Corporation Tax on profits and may have more tax planning opportunities. Many sole traders choose to remain as a sole trader for simplicity, but an accountant can help you decide which structure is best for you.
When do I need to register for VAT as a sole trader?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, which is £90,000. However, you can also register voluntarily if you wish to reclaim VAT on business purchases. An accountant can help you understand your obligations and decide whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your particular circumstances.
Can an accountant help me with an HMRC tax investigation?
Yes, an accountant can provide invaluable support during an HMRC enquiry or investigation. They can help you gather the necessary documents, respond to HMRC's queries, and represent you in communications with the tax authority. Having a professional who understands tax law and procedures can reduce stress and help ensure a fair outcome.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs. Many sole traders meet with their accountant quarterly to review financial performance and plan for tax payments. Others only meet annually to prepare their tax return. Regular contact can help you stay on top of your finances and make informed decisions throughout the year.
