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? We'll Guide You
One of the biggest decisions you'll make is choosing the right business structure. It affects your tax bill, your legal liability, and how you pay yourself. Our specialists will analyse your income, goals, and plans for growth to recommend the most tax-efficient and practical option. We'll walk you through the pros and cons, so you can make an informed choice with confidence.
- Comparing tax efficiency between sole trader and limited company structures.
- Advising on the most tax-efficient way to draw income, whether salary, dividends, or a mix.
- Handling company formation and ongoing Companies House compliance if you choose a limited company.
- Explaining corporation tax obligations and how they apply to your creator business.
- Clarifying personal tax return requirements for both structures.
- Assessing liability protection and how it impacts your personal assets.
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%.

Correct exchange rate treatment on every payout and platform fee.
VAT on digital services
Place-of-supply rules for overseas brands, agencies and subscribers.

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