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?
One of the biggest decisions you'll make is choosing your business structure. Our Accountants for Podcasters in Wallington help you weigh the options. As a sole trader, you have simpler admin but unlimited liability. A limited company can be more tax-efficient as your earnings grow, but requires more paperwork. We guide you based on your income, goals, and future plans. We help you switch structures when it's right for you.
- Comparison of tax efficiency between structures
- Dividend vs salary extraction planning
- Company formation and ongoing compliance
- Corporation tax planning and filing
- Personal tax return implications
- Liability and asset 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.
