Some Tips From Our Accountants for Barristers
Begin Preparing For Your First Taxes
As a new single trader, must file a personal tax return at the end of the first fiscal year in which you worked. You’ll owe tax on that income at your marginal rate and have to pay it once when your tax return is due.
For your first year as a barrister’s tax bill, you must prepare ahead (for example, by estimating your potential income and the associated tax obligation and then regularly diverting an appropriate amount of funds to a separate bank account).
Be Sure To Deduct All of Your Qualifying Business Costs
Don’t forget to declare all tax-deductible business expenses.
Make sure that all of your company’s qualified expenses are claimed. Take a look at the following examples of deductibles:
- Your phone service plan
- Home office expenses if you frequently work from home
- specialised clothing such as wigs, vests, and gowns.
- Costs related to a professional association
- Subscription to legal books and periodicals.
- Insurance premiums for professional liability and income protection.

Ensure that you keep accurate records
Keeping accurate records has two significant benefits:
- It will let you easily prepare your quarterly and annual financial statements and tax filings.
- It will help you prove your expense claims if you are ever audited. You must keep expense papers (such as invoices and bills) for at least five years after submitting your tax return. Paper receipts might fade over time, so scan them if possible.
Consult with a CPA and a Tax Advisor
One may gain many benefits by hiring a professional accountant and tax advisor, such as:
- Maintaining compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Saving money on taxes maximises all of your allowable deductions.
- Assisting with the adoption of effective record-keeping systems and methods
Enroll in the Right Insurance Plan.
To practise law, you’ll need professional indemnity insurance, but you should also consider purchasing adequate income protection insurance to cover your living expenses. This will safeguard you if you cannot practise law as a barrister due to illness or injury.
You can deduct the cost of business insurance from your taxable income.
Create A Financial Plan
A financial plan is needed if you want to build and safeguard your assets. Accountants for Barristers can help ensure that financial decisions may be made much more effectively with the help of an independent financial advisor. Your financial future is never too early or late to begin thinking about.

VAT Accounting
VAT is one of the most complicated and frustrating parts of running a business regarding accounting. Since 1973, it has been up to business owners to figure out and pay VAT instead of the consumer.
Registration, choosing a VAT scheme to register for, calculating VAT, and balancing VAT accounts are all part-time jobs in and of themselves. Hiring a professional VAT accountant can relieve a lot of the stress that comes with this complicated tax system.
HRMC Tax Investigations
Random HMRC Tax investigations used to be rare, but now the tax authorities have a lot of sophisticated and effective tools at their disposal. Consultants who do risky things are most likely to be investigated and are more likely to be caught.
HMRC investigations aim to determine if correct information has been given and if correct tax amounts have been paid.

Market Your Legal Practice
Pearl Lemon Accountants is a subsidiary of the broader Pearl Lemon Group, a digital growth and SEO firm in London.
As accountants, we operate in a dynamic and competitive field. To that end, we have a small firm mentality with big firm skills since we know how important marketing is to your company’s success. One thing that sets us apart from other London accounting businesses is our background in marketing.
Most lawyers and barristers rely on word-of-mouth and personal recommendations to grow their practice. To be successful in today’s digital world, you must shift your marketing efforts to the internet rather than only print. A potential new customer’s initial point of contact is likely to be your website, thanks to the rise in popularity of local searches.
An excellent first impression in business can’t be earned more than once, which is why your website works as a 24-hour, silent salesperson and a virtual storefront for your firm.
If you’re looking to build a high-quality, low-cost lead-generating website, we’ve helped hundreds of companies over the past several years. Your website’s design, development, and optimisation for Google and other search engines are all areas we can help you with.
Video production and digital publication are some areas we may assist you in. Think about what would happen if your website didn’t include things like lead magnets or landing pages.
That being the case, we’ll work with you to develop them and introduce you to traffic-driving strategies like re-marketing and SEO.
We can help you design your company name, logo, and tagline, create your corporate brochure, even author blogs and newsletters, and harness the power of social media to obtain more referrals for your firm. Without these marketing techniques, your organisation will most likely fail to realise its full earning potential.
