Who We Help
We work with creators at every stage, from first paid collaboration through to multi-million view channels running a full production team.
Sole Trader or Limited Company?
Choosing the right business structure is crucial for tax efficiency. We help you weigh the pros and cons of being a sole trader versus forming a limited company, considering your income level, growth plans, and personal circumstances.
- Tax efficiency analysis of both structures
- Dividend vs salary planning for limited companies
- Company formation and registration guidance
- Corporation tax compliance
- Personal tax return implications
- Liability protection considerations
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%.
Foreign currency
Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.
Moving abroad
Residency, split-year treatment and non-dom planning for creators relocating.

We work with influencers of all sizes, from part-time creators to full-time professionals with multiple income streams. Whether you're just starting out or already established, our team is equipped to handle the unique financial complexities of the creator economy.
We offer fixed, transparent packages with no hidden fees. The exact price depends on your individual needs and the complexity of your finances, but you'll always know what you're paying for upfront. We're happy to discuss a package that suits your budget.
We keep track of all important deadlines and submit your self-assessment tax return and any required VAT returns on time. We also advise you on record-keeping requirements and help you understand what expenses you can claim, so you're always on the right side of HMRC.
It depends on your income level and long-term goals. We'll review your earnings, projected growth, and personal circumstances to recommend the most tax-efficient structure. Many influencers benefit from limited company status, but it's not the right choice for everyone.
Common claimable expenses include equipment (cameras, lighting, microphones), software subscriptions, internet and phone bills, travel for brand events, and even a portion of your home costs if you have a dedicated workspace. We'll help you identify all eligible deductions.
