Sole Trader or Limited Company?
Choosing the right business structure is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as an influencer. It affects your tax bill, your personal liability and your future growth. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons based on your income, goals and plans – so you can make an informed choice that saves you money.

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.

W-8BEN forms and treaty rates so Google withholds 0% instead of 30%.

Moving abroad
Residency, split-year treatment and non-dom planning for creators relocating.
