From missing invoices and random payments to unclaimed expenses and confusing HMRC forms most creators dread January.
Sound familiar?
You made money from multiple platforms, but they don’t send proper payslips.
You got paid in GBP, USD, PayPal, Stripe, crypto or some weird mix.
You had a few months of high earnings, then gaps.
You’re not sure what you can claim.
You have no clue if you’re even filing correctly.
We’ve seen it all and we clean it up.
We categorise, calculate, and submit your self-assessment tax return (or limited company return) properly, so your records stay squeaky clean and so does your conscience.
Yes. If you earn money through content creation, you are considered self-employed and must register with HMRC and file a Self Assessment tax return. This applies to income from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, affiliate marketing, brand partnerships, and user-generated content campaigns.
All income earned from creating and sharing content must be declared. This includes ad revenue, brand sponsorships, affiliate commissions, creator fund payments, subscription-based income, tips, and gifted products that come with promotional obligations.
You are still required to file a tax return. The VAT threshold only applies to VAT registration, not income tax. If you earn more than £1,000 per year from content creation, HMRC requires you to submit a return.
You’ll need records of your income across all platforms, invoices from brand collaborations, affiliate payout summaries, and proof of allowable expenses. Our team helps organise this data into a clear and compliant submission.
Yes. HMRC issues automatic penalties for late submissions, interest on unpaid tax, and further consequences for incorrect filings. We make sure your return is complete, accurate, and submitted on time.
While you can file your own return, working with a tax accountant who understands the creator economy helps prevent errors and uncover deductions you might miss. Our team specialises in working with content creators and influencers.
We base tax filings on when income is earned, not just when it lands in your account. If some platform payments are delayed or missing, we help reconcile reports and ensure your records are correct for the tax year.
Yes. Whether you’re just starting out or catching up, we guide you through registration with HMRC and handle the entire process for you. Our goal is to make your first filing as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Absolutely. Commissions from platforms like Amazon, LTK, and other affiliate programs count as taxable income and must be declared. We make sure these are properly categorized and included in your return.
If used for your business, many purchases can be claimed. That includes cameras, microphones, editing software, business-related travel, and some wardrobe items. We help you understand what qualifies under HMRC rules and ensure you’re claiming everything you’re entitled to.
During your consultation, we’ll take time to understand your business model, answer any accounting questions, and discuss how we can support you in saving tax, staying compliant, and growing with confidence.
You can choose a Microsoft Teams video meeting for a more interactive session, or a simple phone call if you prefer.
