Frequently asked questions
What records do I need to keep as a sole trader for my accountant?
As a sole trader, you must keep records of all income and expenses, including sales receipts, purchase invoices, bank statements, and records of any personal money used in the business. Your accountant will use these to prepare your Self Assessment tax return and ensure that you claim all allowable deductions. Keeping organised records throughout the year makes the process smoother and helps you avoid errors or penalties from HMRC.
How can an accountant help me with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring that you meet HMRC deadlines. They will review your income and expenses to identify all legitimate deductions, reducing your tax bill. They can also advise on payments on account, class 2 and class 4 National Insurance, and help you respond to any queries from HMRC, giving you peace of mind.
What is the difference between an ACCA and an ICAEW accountant?
Both ACCA and ICAEW are prestigious professional bodies for accountants, but they have different routes and focuses. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is globally recognised and covers a broad range of business and finance topics. ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) is highly regarded in and emphasises chartered accountancy practice. Both qualifications require rigorous exams and ongoing professional development, ensuring high standards.
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 you are below this threshold, you may choose to register voluntarily, especially if you want to reclaim VAT on business purchases. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific circumstances and manage your VAT returns and records.
Can an accountant help me if HMRC investigates my tax return?
Yes, an accountant can provide invaluable support during an HMRC investigation. They can represent you, prepare the necessary documentation, and communicate with HMRC on your behalf. Their expertise ensures that your rights are protected and that you respond appropriately to any queries. Having a qualified professional by your side reduces stress and helps achieve a favourable outcome.
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my sole trader business?
When choosing an accountant, look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and check their experience with sole traders. Consider their location, availability, and fee structure, and read client reviews. It is also important to ensure they understand your industry and can offer proactive advice on tax planning and business growth. A good accountant should be approachable and responsive to your needs.
