Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT guidance, limited company accounts, Corporation Tax support and cloud accounting setup. Whether you're just starting out or earning from multiple platforms, we tailor our support to your circumstances and help you stay organised throughout the year.
It depends on your income and activities. If you're earning from brand deals, affiliate links, advertising revenue or other creator income, you may need to declare it to HMRC. We can review your situation and advise whether Self Assessment applies to you.
Brand deal income should be recorded accurately with the date received, the payer and any associated contract or invoice. If you're a sole trader, this forms part of your business income. If you operate through a limited company, it's company income. Good records make tax returns much simpler.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances but may include equipment, software subscriptions, home office costs, travel for business and professional fees. We help you identify what's genuinely allowable and keep the right records to support your claims.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of your income. If your turnover exceeds the relevant threshold, registration is usually required. We can help you monitor this and explain what VAT means for your pricing and record-keeping.
That depends on your income, growth plans, how you want to take money from the business and your attitude to administration. A limited company can suit some creators, while sole trader status is simpler for others. We'll talk through the pros and cons for your situation.
Cloud accounting platforms like Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent let you see your income and expenses in real time, categorise transactions and share records with your accountant easily. It reduces paperwork and helps you stay on top of tax deadlines without last-minute stress.
Just get in touch. We'll have a friendly chat about your income streams, what you're currently doing and what you'd like help with. From there, we can recommend a practical approach and set you up with the right support.
