Frequently asked questions
What should a sole trader look for when choosing an accountant?
When selecting an accountant, look for recognised qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, as these indicate a high level of professional competence. It is also important to find someone who has experience working with sole traders in your industry, as they will understand the specific expenses and tax issues you face. Additionally, consider their communication style, fee structure, and whether they offer proactive advice on tax planning and HMRC compliance.
How can an accountant help with my Self Assessment tax return?
An accountant can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return accurately and on time, ensuring that you claim all allowable expenses and reliefs you are entitled to. They will also help you keep organised records throughout the year, calculate your tax and National Insurance contributions, and advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties from HMRC, and saves you considerable 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 choose to register voluntarily if it benefits your business, for example if you sell to VAT-registered customers or incur significant VAT on your purchases. An accountant can help you decide whether voluntary registration is worthwhile and manage your VAT returns and records to ensure full compliance with HMRC.
What records must a sole trader keep for HMRC?
As a sole trader, you must keep records of all your income and expenses, including receipts, invoices, bank statements, and records of any personal money used in the business. You also need to keep a record of your sales and any other business income. These records must be kept for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline, and an accountant can help you set up an efficient system to maintain them.
Can an accountant help me if I am investigated by HMRC?
Yes, an accountant can provide invaluable support if HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax affairs. They will handle all communication with HMRC on your behalf, review your records, and prepare a robust response to any queries. Having a qualified professional by your side ensures that your rights are protected and that you present accurate information, which can significantly reduce the stress and potential financial impact of an investigation.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
The frequency of meetings depends on your business needs, but it is advisable to have at least quarterly check-ins to review your financial position and plan for upcoming tax deadlines. Many accountants also offer ongoing support via phone or email, so you can ask questions as they arise. Regular contact ensures that you stay on top of your record keeping and can make informed decisions throughout the year.
