Frequently Asked Questions
Influencers Accountants offers bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support where applicable, limited company accounts, payroll and cloud accounting setup. We also help with expense tracking, income recording across platforms and general tax planning. Services are tailored to your circumstances, whether you are just starting out or already earning from multiple channels.
Brand deal and sponsorship income should be recorded as business income, whether it is paid in cash, via a platform or received as gifted products or services. Keeping invoices, contracts and platform statements helps ensure your records are accurate. We can help you set up a straightforward system for capturing this income throughout the year.
Whether you need to register for Self Assessment depends on your individual circumstances, including your total income and how it is earned. Many creators with untaxed income above certain levels are required to file a return, but this varies. It is worth checking your position or speaking to an accountant for guidance.
Allowable expenses are generally those incurred wholly and exclusively for your business. For creators this might include equipment, software subscriptions, props, home office costs and professional fees. The rules can be nuanced, so it is important to keep receipts and seek advice on what applies to your specific activities.
The right structure depends on factors such as your income level, growth plans, how you want to take money from the business and your attitude to administration and liability. Some creators start as sole traders and later incorporate. We can talk through the pros and cons based on your situation.
Cloud accounting software can link to your bank accounts, automatically pull in transactions and help you categorise income and expenses. This makes it easier to see how your business is performing and to share records with your accountant. It can also simplify VAT record keeping and Making Tax Digital compliance where relevant.
