Let Us Deal With Your Finances: Accountants for Artists

Once you start working as a creative, “Accountants for Artists” you’ll have to deal with your own money. To be creative, you must keep track of your finances, create and sign contracts with studio spaces or freelancers, save for the future, and submit your tax returns.

For anyone, it’s a lot of labour. Managing the creative components of their work, as well as several day jobs and the financial precariousness of creative existence, is highly challenging for Accountants for Artists.

On the other hand, “Accountants for Artists,” HMRC disdains creatives when filing tax returns, as they aren’t exactly known for keeping meticulous records. Nevertheless, when artists decide to turn their passion into dollars, they adhere to the same accounting responsibilities as any other firm would.

The history of art in the United Kingdom is well-known around the world. One out of every eleven employment is associated with the creative industries, which provide an hourly output of £10 million for the British economy. Fine art is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it’s still expanding.

As a result, you may require additional support if your art becomes subject to more stringent taxation and accounting requirements.

Pearl Lemon can meet your accounting needs.

We’re here to help.

R&D Tax Relief Advice

The UK’s R&D tax rebate is practical and generous. Government-backed relief can lower or refund a company’s tax obligation.

Many qualified companies do not file a claim because they are ignorant of the relief or because it seems too complicated or inappropriate for their business. Design and engineering development are eligible for R&D tax credits. Pearl Lemon Accountants know this and can help.

VAT Accounting

VAT is complicated and time-consuming to navigate. But overall, VAT accountants ensure your firm pays HMRC the correct VAT amount and follows all VAT registration processes for the best VAT scheme. VAT accountants must access your company’s records to enable accurate HMRC reporting.

Our VAT accountants can provide vital assistance throughout the tax year and answer all of your inquiries, saving you time and hassle with complex VAT procedures.

The “Making Tax Digital” Act of 2019 requires businesses to digitally compute and submit VAT returns; they can no longer use HMRC’s online services. VAT returns require MTD-compatible software.

Our VAT accountants can aid by completing these accounting procedures efficiently and accurately. If you are a company that sells VAT-taxable goods and services, hire the Pearl Lemon accounting team to help you in your efforts.

HRMC Tax Investigations

Tax audits and inspections can be stressful, so seek professional guidance unless you’re sure of your situation.

Investigations often result in large tax bills, insolvency, and the necessity for a time-to-pay arrangement, voluntary company arrangement, or creditors’ voluntary liquidation.

HMRC will contact or write to tell you about the investigation. A tax investigation begins with an “information notification” letter. During a tax audit, the inspector will want to see your records.

If HMRC has permission, they’ll almost always call your accountant. You may be fined if you ignore a request for information or decline a visit.

Hiring a tax expert to act and speak on your behalf is a good option, especially during a tax inquiry.

I'm just a freelancer; do I still need an accountant?

While freelancers are not legally obligated to keep financial records (as businesses are), failing to do it can be an expensive mistake regarding financial and tax consequences. Perhaps your bank and credit card statements are incorrect, but you won’t know until it is too late to make the necessary adjustments. Paying a bill late might hurt your credit score. When saving and investing money, you may not know where to start. Alternatively, you may fail to account for costs that offer you tax benefits.

You don’t need an accounting degree or be “smart with numbers” to keep track of your income and expenses, but it does take time and effort. Regardless of how you do it, it’s up to you. Choose between 1.) hiring a professional or 2.) handling some of the work yourself with the assistance of a professional occasionally.
