Frequently asked questions
What specific help can an accountant offer a sole trader?
An accountant can provide comprehensive support including preparing and filing your Self Assessment tax return, calculating your Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions, and advising on allowable business expenses. They can also help you with VAT registration and returns, manage your bookkeeping, and offer advice on tax planning to minimise your liabilities. They act as a strategic partner, helping you understand your financial position and plan for future growth.
Why is it important to use an accountant who is qualified with ACCA, ICAEW or AAT?
Choosing an accountant qualified with a recognised body like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT ensures you are working with a professional who adheres to strict ethical guidelines and high technical standards. These qualifications require rigorous training and ongoing professional development, meaning the accountant is up-to-date with the latest tax legislation. This provides assurance that your financial affairs are being handled competently and that you are receiving advice you can trust.
What are the deadlines for submitting a Self Assessment tax return?
The deadline for filing a paper tax return is typically 31 October following the end of the tax year. If you file online, the deadline is usually 31 January the following year. Any tax you owe must also be paid by the 31 January deadline. Missing these deadlines can result in penalties, so it is wise to have an accountant manage the process to ensure everything is submitted on time and correctly.
Should I 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 your turnover is below this, you may choose to register voluntarily. An accountant can advise you on whether voluntary registration is beneficial for your specific business, considering factors like the nature of your clients and whether you can reclaim VAT on your purchases. They can also manage the registration process and your ongoing VAT returns.
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's debts, but you keep all profits after tax. A limited company is a separate legal entity, meaning your personal finances are protected from business debts. Companies pay Corporation Tax on profits and you may take a salary and dividends. An accountant can explain the pros and cons of each structure and help you decide which is best for your circumstances.
How can an accountant help me with my HMRC records and compliance?
An accountant can help you set up a proper bookkeeping system to ensure your records meet HMRC requirements. They can assist with making Tax Digital for Income Tax, which requires you to keep digital records and use compatible software. They will also ensure you are claiming all allowable expenses and that your tax calculations are accurate. This reduces the risk of an HMRC enquiry and helps you stay fully compliant with regulations.
