SPECIALIST ACCOUNTANTS FOR SOLE TRADERS & SELF EMPLOYED
Latest Testimonial
Being Self Employed?
As a Sole Trader you are classified as self-employed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) whether you sell goods or services. You also have to register with HMRC and certain rules and regulations apply, all of which Pearl can take care of.
When you join Pearl, we will provide you with a free bookkeeping software to get you started and ensure you never miss a deadline.
What We Offer?
We have hundreds of self employed clients with years of experience. This means your in good hands. When you join Pearl we will provide you with a fixed monthly package. This includes getting you registered properly, submitting a Self-Assessment Tax Return at the end of the financial year and paying Income Tax due. We will take on all the hard work and stress that comes with doing the bookkeeping and meeting HMRC deadlines so that you can run your successful business.

Sole Trader Responsibilities
The responsibilities that come with being a Sole Trader are different to those of a company director who runs a limited company. You run your business as an individual and keep all business profits after tax has been paid on them. You are also solely responsible for losses that your business may make.
There are also certain HMRC rules and regulations that must be followed:
- Keep records of all business sales and expenses
- Submit a Self-Assessment Tax Return each year
- Pay Income Tax due on profits made
- Pay National Insurance
- Register for VAT if your turnover is expected to be more than £83,000 a year
