Sole Trader or Limited Company? We'll Guide You
Choosing the right business structure is crucial for your tax efficiency and long-term growth. As an influencer, you may start as a sole trader but later benefit from being a limited company.

International Income & Cross-Border Tax for Creators
YouTube pays from the US, TikTok pays from Ireland, a brand deal lands from Dubai and your Patreon settles in dollars. Each of those routes carries its own withholding tax, VAT and currency treatment. We make sure you claim treaty relief where it applies, report foreign income correctly and never pay tax twice on the same pound.
US withholding tax
W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.
