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? We'll Guide You
Choosing the right business structure is a big decision for any influencer. Our experts at Influencers Accountants help you weigh the pros and cons of being a sole trader versus a limited company, considering your income, growth plans, and tax efficiency. We provide clear advice so you can make an informed choice.
- Tax efficiency analysis for both structures
- Dividend versus salary strategies for limited companies
- Company formation and registration services
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax returns for sole traders and company directors
- Liability protection considerations for your assets
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.

W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.
