- Advertising and platform revenue such as YouTube ad income or TikTok creator funds
- Affiliate commissions and referral fees from links and discount codes

Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support where applicable, limited company accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll services. We also help with cloud accounting setup and ongoing financial organisation. Everything is tailored to the way creators actually earn, with multiple income streams and irregular payment schedules.
Brand deal and sponsorship payments are generally treated as business income and should be recorded in your accounting records. If you receive gifted products or services, these may also need to be recorded at their market value depending on the circumstances. We help you track these accurately so your tax return reflects your true position.
It depends on your total income and circumstances. If you are earning money from content creation, brand partnerships or platform revenue, you may need to register for Self Assessment and file a tax return. We can review your situation and advise on whether registration is required, and help you meet HMRC deadlines if it is.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances but often include equipment, software subscriptions, props, travel for content shoots, home studio costs and professional fees. We help you identify what is genuinely allowable and keep the records HMRC would expect to see if they asked.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of your income. If your turnover exceeds the relevant threshold, registration is usually required. Some creators also register voluntarily. We can explain how VAT applies to digital and physical products, and help you manage returns if you are registered.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Sole trader status is simpler administratively, while a limited company can offer different tax and liability considerations as your income grows. We look at your earnings, plans and how you want to take money from the business before recommending a structure.
Yes. Creators across Lewes and the surrounding areas, from Cliffe to Kingston and beyond, often earn from a mix of brand deals, ad revenue and digital products. We help you set up cloud accounting, track each income stream and keep records that make tax time far less stressful.
The first step is usually a conversation about your income sources, how you are currently structured and what you need help with. We can then suggest a practical way forward, whether that is bookkeeping support, tax return preparation or a full review of your setup. There is no obligation to proceed.
