Sole Trader Year-End questions

[Steve_Wooding]

Hi,

Is the accountant’s fee just to prepare the accounts for my QuickFile business? Or does it include filing my Self-Assessment return? I’m fine with filing the SA myself, but just wanted to check.

Depending on the answer to the above question: I have another pre-existing sole trader business that is on a cash-basis and where I just use a spreadsheet to keep records. Does the fee include advice about my other income?

Should I charge the accountant fee to my QF business? Or on a personal debit card?

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi Steve,

The accountants fee would include the Self Assessment Return since you are a sole trader

It is up to you how you charge the accountant fee, but if you are unsure I am sure you can get advice from the accountant - it would also be worth asking about the advice as different accountants may vary.

OK, thanks for that Beth. Very helpful.
