Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support where applicable, limited company accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll. We also help with cloud accounting setup and ongoing financial organisation. Services are tailored to creators, so we understand income from brand deals, ads, affiliate links and digital products.
Anyone earning from content creation, whether full-time or alongside other work. This includes YouTubers, TikTokers, Instagram creators, podcasters, bloggers and streamers. If your income comes from multiple platforms or brand partnerships, specialist support can help you stay organised and understand your tax position.
Brand deal income is generally recorded as business income when received or invoiced, depending on your accounting basis. Gifted products or services may also have tax implications. We help you record these accurately and keep supporting documents such as contracts and invoices.
If you are self-employed and your income exceeds HMRC's reporting threshold, you will usually need to file a Self Assessment tax return. This includes income from all platforms and brand deals. We can prepare and file your return and help you understand what expenses may be allowable.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances but may include equipment, software subscriptions, home office costs, travel to shoots and professional fees. We help you identify legitimate business costs and keep the records needed to support your claims. Personal expenses are not allowable.
VAT registration is generally required when your taxable turnover exceeds the HMRC threshold over a rolling twelve-month period. Some creators register voluntarily. We can review your income and advise whether registration applies to you, and help with VAT returns if needed.
The right structure depends on your income, growth plans, tax position and how you want to take money from the business. A limited company can offer different tax and liability considerations, but comes with more administration. We can talk through the options with you.
Cloud accounting gives you real-time visibility of your income and expenses, often from your phone. It can automate bank feeds, categorise transactions and make it easier to share records with your accountant. This can simplify Self Assessment and VAT reporting where applicable.
