Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for sole traders do for my Self Assessment?
An accountant for sole traders prepares and submits your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC on your behalf. They will calculate your taxable profit, apply all allowable expenses, and ensure that your return is accurate and submitted on time. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and they can also advise on payments on account and tax planning.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant help with VAT?
An ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant can assist you with VAT registration, completing VAT returns, and ensuring that you comply with all HMRC regulations. They will advise on whether you should be VAT-registered, help you choose the best scheme for your business, and manage your records to make the process straightforward.
What records must I keep as a sole trader for HMRC?
As a sole trader, you must keep records of all your income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, and bank statements. You also need to keep records of any personal income taken from the business. An accountant can help you organise these records and ensure that they meet HMRC requirements, making your tax return easier to complete.
Can an accountant help reduce the tax I pay as a sole trader?
Yes, an accountant can identify all allowable expenses and tax reliefs that you are entitled to claim, such as working from home costs, business mileage, and professional subscriptions. They will also advise on tax-efficient ways to structure your business and manage your income, ensuring that you pay no more tax than is legally required.
How do I choose the right accountant for my sole trader business?
When choosing an accountant, look for someone who is qualified and regulated by a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Consider their experience with sole traders, their fee structure, and whether they offer the services you need, such as bookkeeping or tax planning. Reading client reviews and comparing local firms can also help you make an informed decision.
What is the difference between a chartered accountant and a certified accountant?
Chartered accountants are typically members of ICAEW or ICAS, whilst certified accountants are members of ACCA. Both are highly qualified and regulated, but their training and examination routes differ. For a sole trader, either type of professional can provide excellent advice on tax returns, VAT, and business finances, so the choice often comes down to personal preference and the specific services offered.
