Year-round planning around dividends, pensions, allowable equipment and studio costs so your tax bill is never a surprise in January.

Who We Help
We work with creators at every stage, from first paid collaboration through to multi-million view channels running a full production team.
Sole Trader or Limited Company?
Choosing the right business structure is crucial for tax efficiency. We'll assess your income level, growth plans, and personal circumstances to recommend whether sole trader or limited company suits you best — and handle the transition if needed.
- Tax efficiency comparison between structures
- Dividend vs salary extraction strategies
- Company formation and registration support
- Corporation tax planning and filing
- Personal tax returns for sole traders and directors
- Liability protection and risk assessment
International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators
YouTube pays from the US, TikTok pays from Ireland, a brand deal lands from Dubai and your Patreon settles in dollars. Each of those routes carries its own withholding tax, VAT and currency treatment. We make sure you claim treaty relief where it applies, report foreign income correctly and never pay tax twice on the same pound.
US withholding tax
W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.
Foreign currency
Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.
Moving abroad
Residency, split-year treatment and non-dom planning for creators relocating.
