Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an accountant as a sole trader?
- You are not legally required to use one, but most sole traders find that an accountant saves them more in tax than the fee costs, and removes the stress of dealing with HMRC themselves.
- When do I need to register as self-employed?
- You must register with HMRC as self-employed by 5 October following the end of the first tax year you traded. Early registration is always recommended.
- What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company?
- As a sole trader you and your business are the same legal entity. A limited company is a separate legal entity with different tax rules and filing obligations. We can advise on which structure suits your circumstances.
