Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should I look for in an accountant for my sole trade?
Look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These bodies ensure high professional standards and ongoing training. A qualified accountant will be up to date with HMRC rules and tax legislation, which is vital for accurate Self Assessment and tax return filing. They also adhere to a strict code of ethics, giving you confidence in their advice and services.
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, ensuring accuracy and timeliness. They will identify all allowable expenses and reliefs to minimise your tax bill. They also keep records organised and can advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and saves you significant time and stress.
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 it benefits your business. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is worthwhile, help with the registration process, and manage your VAT returns. They ensure you comply with HMRC regulations and claim any input tax correctly.
What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company for tax purposes?
As a sole trader, you pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your profits through Self Assessment. A limited company pays Corporation Tax on its profits, and you may take a salary and dividends. An accountant can explain the implications of each structure, including liability and tax efficiency. They will help you decide which is best for your circumstances and manage the transition if you choose to incorporate.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
It is advisable to meet at least quarterly to review your financial position and plan for upcoming deadlines. However, the frequency depends on the complexity of your business. Many accountants offer ongoing support and are available for ad hoc queries. Regular meetings help you stay on top of cash flow, tax planning, and any changes in legislation that may affect you.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and records of any personal drawings. If you are VAT-registered, you need to keep a VAT account and all relevant documentation. Your accountant can guide you on digital record-keeping requirements under Making Tax Digital. Accurate records ensure your tax return is correct and make the accountant's job easier.
