Frequently Asked Questions
We provide bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, VAT support where applicable, limited company accounts and Corporation Tax, payroll, and cloud accounting setup. Everything is tailored to the way creators actually earn, whether that is through brand deals, ad revenue, affiliate income or digital products. We also help with HMRC correspondence and deadline management.
You do not have to use a specialist, but general accountants often miss the nuances of creator income, such as foreign platform payments, gifted products and irregular brand deal timing. Accountants for Influencers understand these issues and can help you record income correctly and claim the expenses that genuinely apply to your work.
Brand deal and sponsorship income should be recorded when you earn it, not necessarily when the payment lands. If you invoice a brand in March but get paid in May, the income generally belongs to the earlier tax year. We help you track this accurately so your tax return reflects the right figures.
Allowable expenses depend on your circumstances, but commonly include equipment, software subscriptions, a proportion of home office costs, travel to shoots, and professional fees. Personal spending cannot be claimed. We help you identify what is genuinely allowable and keep the records to support it.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of your income. Some creators also need to consider VAT on digital services sold to consumers in other countries. The rules can be complex, so it is worth reviewing your position with an accountant before you assume you are or are not required to register.
Both structures have advantages and disadvantages. Sole trader status is simpler, while a limited company can offer different tax and liability considerations as your income grows. The right choice depends on your profits, growth plans and how you want to take money from the business. We can talk you through the options.
Yes. Cloud tools like Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent let you see money coming in and going out in real time, which is especially useful when brand deals land at odd times. You can categorise expenses on the go, store receipts digitally and give your accountant access when needed, making year-end much smoother.
Get in touch and we will ask about your income streams, how you are currently set up and what you need help with. From there we can recommend a package, help you get your records in order and take the stress out of tax deadlines. Many South West London creators start with a simple review before committing.
