Frequently Asked Questions
Our specialist team understands the unique income streams and expenses of Snapchat influencers, from brand deals to ad revenue. We tailor our services to the creator economy, ensuring you claim every allowable expense and stay compliant with HMRC. Unlike general accountants, we're up to date with platform-specific tax rules and can offer proactive advice on your business structure.
VAT registration depends on your total taxable turnover, not just Snapchat income. If your combined earnings from all sources exceed the VAT threshold, you must register. Our Accountants will monitor your income levels and advise you when VAT registration becomes necessary. We'll handle the registration and ongoing returns, so you don't miss any deadlines.
You can claim expenses that are wholly and exclusively for your business, such as camera equipment, lighting, editing software, props, travel for shoots, and a portion of your home internet and phone bills. Our Accountants will help you identify all allowable deductions and keep proper records, ensuring you reduce your tax bill legally.
The best structure depends on your earnings, future plans, and risk tolerance. Sole trader is simpler, but a limited company can be more tax-efficient if you're earning higher profits and want limited liability. Our Accountants will run the numbers for you and explain the trade-offs, helping you make an informed decision that suits your goals.
Simply get in touch through our website or give us a call. We'll arrange a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your Snapchat influencer business and financial needs. From there, we'll tailor a package that suits you, whether you need full bookkeeping and tax returns or just advice. Our onboarding process is quick and straightforward.
No, we handle HMRC correspondence on your behalf. We'll prepare and file your self-assessment tax return, manage any VAT obligations, and respond to any queries from HMRC. You'll have peace of mind knowing that a specialist team is managing your compliance, so you can focus on creating content.
Absolutely. If you're not happy with your current accountant or they don't understand the creator economy, we can take over seamlessly. We'll review your past tax returns, ensure everything is accurate, and provide specialist advice moving forward. Switching is easy, and we'll handle the transition.
We offer fixed, transparent packages with no hidden fees, tailored to your needs. Whether you're just starting out or you're a full-time influencer, we have a package that fits. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your requirements and provide a clear quote, so you know exactly what to expect.
