International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators

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

Frequently Asked Questions
We handle your entire financial picture as a creator. That includes preparing and filing your self-assessment tax return, managing VAT if you're registered, keeping your books up to date, and advising on tax-efficient ways to draw money from your business. We also help with expense tracking so you claim every legitimate deduction. Our goal is to keep you 100% HMRC compliant while you focus on making great content.
Our services are perfect for YouTubers at any stage — from side-hustle creators just starting to earn, to full-time channels with multiple income streams. If your channel generates ad revenue, sponsorship deals, affiliate income, or merchandise sales, we can help. We also work with YouTubers who are considering going limited or who already have a limited company. Basically, if you're a creator earning from YouTube, we're the right fit.
We believe in transparent, fixed-fee packages — no hidden costs, no surprise bills. Your fee is agreed upfront based on the complexity of your finances and the level of support you need. You'll always know what you're paying for, whether it's a simple self-assessment or full cloud bookkeeping plus VAT. We'll give you a clear quote before we start, and we'll never charge for a quick email or call.
Absolutely. Self-assessment can be tricky with variable creator income, but we're experts at it. We'll ensure your tax return is accurate and submitted on time, and we'll calculate your payments on account so you're never caught out. We also keep digital records that meet Making Tax Digital requirements, and we'll handle any HMRC correspondence on your behalf. You'll have total peace of mind that your tax affairs are in order.
It really depends on your income level and long-term plans. As a sole trader, you pay income tax and National Insurance on your profits, which is simpler. A limited company allows you to pay yourself a salary and dividends, which can be more tax-efficient once your profits grow. We'll model both scenarios for you and give a clear recommendation based on your specific numbers and goals. We'll also help you with the admin if you decide to incorporate.
You can claim a wide range of expenses that are wholly and exclusively for your business. This includes equipment like cameras, lighting, microphones and computers, as well as software subscriptions, props, travel for shoots, and even a portion of your home internet and electricity bills if you work from home. We'll help you identify every legitimate deduction so you pay less tax. Just keep your receipts and we'll handle the rest.
We set you up with cloud software like Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, which connects to your bank and payment platforms. This means your income from AdSense, sponsorships and other sources is automatically recorded. You can snap photos of receipts with your phone, and we can categorise expenses remotely. You get a real-time view of your profitability, and we can produce reports instantly. It's also fully compliant with HMRC's Making Tax Digital requirements.
Getting started is easy. Just reach out through our website or give us a call. We'll have an initial chat to understand your channel and financial situation. Then we'll send you a fixed-fee proposal and, once you're happy, we'll onboard you quickly. We'll handle the switch from any existing accountant and set up your cloud accounting. Before you know it, your finances will be in expert hands.
