Accounting & tax support for Freelancers
Simple, affordable compliance for freelance licence holders — VAT registration guidance and annual filing support.
Industry challenges
Understanding whether/when VAT registration is required, and keeping compliance simple without an internal finance function.
How Imperium helps
We provide right-sized support — VAT registration guidance where applicable, and straightforward annual filing — without the overhead a larger business would need.
Key considerations
Accounting considerations
Simple, consistent income and expense tracking is usually sufficient — the goal is a system that's actually maintained, not a complex one that gets abandoned.
Tax considerations
VAT registration becomes mandatory above a specific annual revenue threshold, with voluntary registration available below it — worth reviewing your specific numbers rather than assuming either way.
Common financial problems
Freelancers crossing the mandatory VAT threshold without registering in time, or not tracking deductible expenses consistently enough to reduce their tax position.
