Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for sole traders do?
An accountant for sole traders helps you manage your financial records, prepare and submit your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC, and ensure you are claiming all allowable expenses. They can also assist with VAT registration, bookkeeping, and providing advice on how to structure your business for tax efficiency. Their expertise helps you stay compliant and save money.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help my sole trader business?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants have undergone rigorous training and adhere to high professional standards. They possess in-depth knowledge of tax laws and regulations, which means they can provide accurate advice on tax planning, VAT, and record keeping. Their qualifications offer you assurance that your finances are in capable hands, reducing the risk of errors and penalties.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a sole trader?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold of £90,000. Even if your turnover is below this, you may choose to voluntarily register, which can be beneficial if you incur VAT on business purchases. An accountant can advise you on whether voluntary registration is right for your specific circumstances and help you manage the process.
What records should I keep for my Self Assessment tax return?
You should keep records of all income and expenses related to your sole trader business, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any personal income. HMRC requires you to keep these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. An accountant can help you organise your records and ensure you are prepared for any queries.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on the complexity of your business and your personal preferences. Many sole traders meet with their accountant quarterly to review their finances and plan for tax payments, whilst others only meet annually to prepare their tax return. Regular contact can help you stay on top of your obligations and make proactive decisions throughout the year.
Can an accountant help me if I am investigated by HMRC?
Yes, an accountant can be invaluable during an HMRC investigation. They can represent you, help gather the necessary documentation, and communicate with HMRC on your behalf. Their expertise ensures that your rights are protected and that you provide the correct information. This support reduces stress and helps achieve a fair resolution to any enquiry.
