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 your tax efficiency. We guide you through the pros and cons of being a sole trader versus a limited company, considering your income level and growth plans. Our advice is tailored to your unique situation.
- Comparison of tax efficiency between structures
- Dividend versus salary strategies for directors
- Company formation and registration assistance
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax return implications for both structures
- Limited 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%.
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.
