Frequently asked questions
What records do I need to keep as a sole trader for my accountant?
You need to keep records of all income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and any records of personal money taken from the business. Your accountant will use these to prepare your Self Assessment tax return accurately. Keeping organised digital or paper records throughout the year makes the process smoother and helps ensure you claim all allowable deductions.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help with HMRC enquiries?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax return, an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant can act as your agent. They will handle correspondence, prepare the necessary evidence, and represent you in discussions with HMRC. Their professional expertise reduces stress and helps ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
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. Even if your turnover is below this, voluntary registration can be beneficial if you incur VAT on business purchases. An accountant can advise on whether registration is right for you and help you complete the necessary paperwork.
What is the deadline for filing a Self Assessment tax return?
The deadline for filing your Self Assessment tax return online is 31 January following the end of the tax year. The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April, so for the 2024/25 tax year, the deadline is 31 January 2026. Your accountant will ensure your return is filed on time to avoid penalties.
Can an accountant help me reduce my tax bill as a sole trader?
Yes, an accountant can identify legitimate business expenses you may have overlooked, such as home office costs, travel, and professional subscriptions. They can also advise on tax-efficient ways to structure your finances, such as pension contributions. By planning ahead, you can legally minimise your tax liability whilst staying compliant with HMRC rules.
What qualifications should I look for when choosing an accountant?
Look for accountants who are members of recognised professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These qualifications ensure the accountant has undergone rigorous training and adheres to ethical standards. Additionally, check if they have experience working with sole traders and whether they offer services like tax return preparation, VAT advice, and ongoing support.
