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 your tax efficiency and long-term growth. We assess your income level, growth plans, and personal circumstances to recommend whether operating as a sole trader or a limited company is best for you. Our advice is tailored to your unique situation, ensuring you keep more of what you earn.

- Dividend vs salary strategies for limited companies
- Company formation and registration guidance
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax return implications for each structure

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%.

Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.
