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 Help You Decide
Choosing the right structure is crucial for tax efficiency. Our accountants in Whitehall assess your income, growth plans, and personal circumstances to recommend whether operating as a sole trader or limited company is best for you. We make the decision clear and straightforward.
- Tax-efficient structuring advice based on your income
- Comparison of dividend vs salary extraction for directors
- Company formation and registration support
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax return preparation for sole traders

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.

Our services are designed for any content creator based in Whitehall or operating in the UK, including YouTubers, TikTokers, podcasters, bloggers, and streamers. Whether you're just starting or already have a substantial following, we tailor our support to your level of income and complexity.
We offer fixed, transparent packages with no hidden fees. You'll know exactly what you pay each month, and that covers all our core services. This means you can budget with confidence, and we don't charge extra for standard queries or support.

It depends on your income, growth plans, and personal circumstances. We'll analyse your situation and recommend the most tax-efficient structure. For many creators, a limited company offers better tax savings, but it involves more admin. We'll guide you through the pros and cons.
