Frequently asked questions
What specific records do I need to keep for my sole trader tax return?
As a sole trader, you must keep records of all your income and expenses. This includes sales receipts, invoices, bank statements, and records of any personal money used for business. You should also keep a record of any assets you have bought and sold. These records are essential for completing an accurate Self Assessment tax return and are required by HMRC to be kept for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline.
How can an ACCA or ICAEW accountant help me with an HMRC tax investigation?
If HMRC opens an enquiry into your tax return, an accountant who is a member of ACCA or ICAEW can provide invaluable support. They will act as your representative, handling all communication with HMRC on your behalf. They will review your records, prepare the necessary evidence, and ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process. Their professional expertise can significantly reduce the stress and potential financial impact of an investigation.
What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company for tax purposes?
As a sole trader, you are personally responsible for your business's finances, and you pay Income Tax and National Insurance on your profits through the Self Assessment system. A limited company is a separate legal entity, meaning it pays Corporation Tax on its profits. Choosing the right structure depends on your income, business goals, and liability. An accountant can help you analyse which structure is most tax-efficient for your situation.
Do I need to register for VAT if my turnover is below the threshold?
You are not legally required to register for VAT until your taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold. However, you can choose to register voluntarily. This can be beneficial if you sell to other VAT-registered businesses, as they can reclaim the VAT you charge. It might also allow you to reclaim VAT on your own business purchases. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is a sensible financial move for your specific business.
What are the deadlines for filing my Self Assessment tax return?
For a typical tax year ending on 5 April, you must register for Self Assessment by 5 October following the end of the tax year. The deadline for filing your paper tax return is 31 October, and the online filing deadline is 31 January the following year. Any tax you owe must also be paid by the 31 January deadline. Missing these dates can result in automatic penalties, so it is vital to stay organised.
Can an accountant help me with my expenses and allowable deductions?
Yes, an accountant will ensure you claim every allowable expense you are entitled to, which can significantly reduce your tax bill. This includes costs like office supplies, travel, and a portion of your home utility bills if you work from home. They will also advise on capital allowances for equipment purchases. Their knowledge of HMRC rules ensures you claim the correct amounts and have the proper evidence to support your deductions.
