Frequently Asked Questions
IR35 rules determine whether you are genuinely self-employed or effectively an employee for tax purposes. It affects how much tax and NIC you pay. Getting your status wrong can be costly, so it’s vital to seek expert advice.
While it’s possible to manage your own finances, working with a specialist accountant ensures you claim all allowable expenses, remain compliant with HMRC, and avoid costly mistakes—especially around IR35, VAT and self-assessment.
Typical allowable expenses include travel, equipment, software, professional subscriptions, home office costs and training. Rules vary depending on your trading structure, so tailored advice is essential.
From April 2026, many self-employed individuals with income over £50,000 will need to file quarterly digital updates instead of one annual return. Those earning over £30,000 follow from April 2027. We’ll manage this on your behalf to keep you compliant.
