Who We Help

Sole Trader or Limited Company?
Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you'll make as an influencer. Our accountants for influencers in Bracknell provide personalised advice, weighing the pros and cons of operating as a sole trader versus a limited company. We consider your income level, growth plans, and personal circumstances to recommend the most tax-efficient structure for you.
- Tax efficiency comparison between sole trader and limited company
- Dividend vs salary strategies for limited company owners
- Company formation support and guidance
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax return implications for both structures
- Liability protection and risk assessment
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%.
