Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support, limited company accounts and Corporation Tax, payroll where relevant, and cloud accounting setup. Our services are tailored to creators earning from brand deals, ad revenue, affiliate income or digital products, so the support fits how your income actually works.
It can be. Even modest income from a few brand deals or affiliate links brings record-keeping and possible tax obligations. An accountant can help you set things up correctly from the start, which is often easier than fixing disorganised records later. It depends on your circumstances, so a quick chat can clarify whether it makes sense.
Brand deal and sponsorship payments are generally treated as business income and should be recorded accurately, whether paid in cash, products or services. Keep invoices, contracts and payment records together. If you receive gifts or free products in exchange for promotion, these may also need to be accounted for depending on the arrangement.
If you earn income outside of employment or have untaxed income above certain limits, you may need to register for Self Assessment and file a tax return each year. The return covers all your income sources. Whether you need to register depends on your total earnings and circumstances, so it is worth checking with an accountant.
Potentially allowable expenses can include equipment such as cameras and microphones, editing software, props, a proportion of home office costs, and travel to shoots or events. The rules depend on whether the expense is wholly and exclusively for business. We can help you identify what applies to your situation.
VAT registration is generally required once your taxable turnover exceeds the current HMRC threshold, though voluntary registration is also possible. The threshold can change, so it is best to check the latest guidance. If you sell merchandise or digital products, VAT may apply to those sales, and we can advise on your specific position.
That depends on your income, growth plans, how you want to take money from the business and your attitude to administration and liability. A limited company can suit some creators, while sole trader status is simpler for others. We can talk through the pros and cons based on your circumstances without pushing one route.
Simply get in touch and we will arrange an initial conversation about your income streams, current record-keeping and any concerns. From there we can recommend a suitable level of support, whether that is basic bookkeeping, a full tax return service or ongoing cloud accounting. There is no obligation to proceed.
