Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to run a limited company?
Accountancy costs for a straightforward contractor limited company typically run from £800–£1,500 per year — set against a potential tax saving of £5,000–£15,000.
Do I need a self-assessment even with a limited company?
Yes. As a company director receiving dividends or salary above certain thresholds, you are required to complete a personal self-assessment tax return each year.
What expenses can I claim as a freelancer?
Allowable expenses typically include home office costs, equipment and software, professional subscriptions, training, travel to client sites, and accountancy fees.
Should I be a sole trader or limited company?
As a rough guide, a limited company makes sense when annual profit consistently exceeds £30,000–£35,000. We model the exact numbers for your situation.
