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 Help You Choose
One of the biggest decisions for influencers is whether to operate as a sole trader or set up a limited company. The right choice depends on your income, growth plans, and personal circumstances. Our advisors at Influencers Accountants will guide you through the pros and cons, ensuring you pick the most tax-efficient structure for your unique situation.
- Tax efficiency comparison between structures
- Dividend vs salary extraction strategies
- Company formation and registration support
- Corporation tax planning and compliance
- Personal tax return implications
- Limited liability 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.
