Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for a sole trader do?
An accountant for a sole trader handles your Self Assessment tax return, ensures you claim all allowable expenses, and provides advice on tax planning. They also help with VAT if you are registered, keep your records organised, and act as a liaison with HMRC. This allows you to focus on running your business whilst staying compliant with tax laws.
Why should I use an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants have undergone rigorous training and adhere to strict professional standards. They are recognised for their expertise and ethical conduct. Using such a professional ensures you receive accurate advice, up-to-date knowledge of tax legislation, and a high level of service. This reduces the risk of errors on your tax return and helps you optimise your tax position.
How can an accountant help with my HMRC tax return?
An accountant prepares and submits your Self Assessment tax return to HMRC on your behalf, ensuring it is accurate and filed on time. They help you identify all allowable expenses, reducing your taxable profit. They also provide advice on payments on account and can represent you if HMRC queries your return, giving you peace of mind and saving you time.
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 on your profits. A limited company is a separate legal entity, paying Corporation Tax on its profits. Accountants can advise on which structure suits your needs, considering factors like liability, tax efficiency, and administrative burden.
Do I need to register for VAT as a sole trader?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold, currently £90,000. Even if below this, you may choose to register voluntarily. An accountant can help you decide, manage your VAT returns, and ensure you comply with HMRC regulations. They can also advise on schemes like the Flat Rate Scheme to simplify your accounting.
How do I find the right accountant for my sole trader business?
Start by identifying your needs, such as tax return preparation, bookkeeping, or VAT advice. Then, use a directory like AccountingFirms to find and compare qualified accountants in Islington. Look for professionals with relevant experience and accreditations, such as ACCA or ICAEW. Arrange consultations to discuss your business and ensure you feel comfortable with their approach and fees.
