Frequently asked questions
What does an accountant for sole traders actually do?
An accountant for sole traders manages your Self Assessment tax return, ensures you claim all allowable expenses, and helps you understand your tax liabilities. They also offer bookkeeping services, VAT advice, and can represent you if HMRC opens an enquiry. Their main goal is to keep you compliant while minimising your tax bill legally.
How do I know if an accountant is qualified and regulated?
Look for membership in recognised professional bodies such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These organisations require their members to meet strict standards of education, ethics, and ongoing professional development. You can verify an accountant's credentials by checking the register on the respective body's website or by asking the accountant directly for their membership number.
Can an accountant help me if I have missed the Self Assessment deadline?
Yes, an accountant can assist you even if you have missed the deadline. They can help you file your tax return as soon as possible, calculate any penalties and interest owed, and communicate with HMRC on your behalf. They may also be able to argue for a reduction in penalties if you have a reasonable excuse.
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 voluntarily register if it benefits your business, for example to reclaim VAT on purchases. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is right for you and handle the entire registration process with HMRC.
What records do I need to keep for my accountant?
You should keep records of all income and expenses, including invoices, receipts, bank statements, and any records of personal use of business assets. For HMRC, you must keep these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. Your accountant can provide a checklist and help you set up a simple system to stay organised.
How often should I meet with my accountant?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least once a year for your tax return, but many sole traders benefit from quarterly or even monthly check-ins. Regular meetings help you stay on top of cash flow, plan for tax payments, and make informed business decisions. Your accountant can also provide ongoing advice as your business grows.
