Sole Trader Accountant

Hey, I am Tom a sole trader accountant in Lichfield, serving clients all over the UK.

When setting up a business, registering as a sole trader or ‘self-employed’ can be the first port of call. But it can be a daunting experience knowing what your commitments are, what expenses to claim, when to register for VAT? Ahh the list can be endless.

I am a sole trader accountant and I am here to help you.

A sole trader is someone who who runs their own business as an individual, self-employed, unlike a Limited Company, where you are separate entities.

One of the commitments of being a sole trader you must submit a yearly tax return to HMRC, which is due online on 31^st January following the previous 5^th April tax year.

Meaning you need to keep track of your sales, expenses, and profit for your business.

A sole trader is more of a simple business structure, with less commitments than a Limited Company. Being a sole trader can be less tax efficient than a Limited Company as you’re taxed on all the income from the business in the period.

★ Relaxed service – No acronyms or stuffy accountancy speak, I want you to feel comfortable picking up the phone and dealing with me. You will never be charged for calls and emails.

★ Peace of mind ­– So you have clarity on what expenses you can claim to ensure we are doing all we can to reduce your tax liability.

★ Proactive – I will submit your sole trader accounts nice and early, so you can proactively save and know how much tax is going to be due in January. It doesn’t help anyone submitting accounts on 31^st January!
