FAQ’s

How can I reduce my tax liability as an interior designer?

As an interior designer, there are various ways to reduce your tax liability, such as claiming allowable expenses, using the cash basis for calculating your tax, and making use of tax reliefs. Allowable expenses could include expenses incurred for the purchase of equipment, travel expenses, and professional subscriptions. The cash basis could be used if your business has a turnover of less than £150,000. Tax reliefs could include capital allowances on assets you have bought for your business.

Should I register for VAT as an interior designer?

If your business has a turnover of over £85,000 in a 12-month period, you are required to register for VAT with HMRC. However, you may choose to voluntarily register for VAT even if your business turnover is lower, as this can give your business a more professional image and allow you to claim back VAT on purchases made for your business.

Can I claim VAT on purchases for my interior design business?

You can claim back VAT on purchases made for your interior design business, as long as those purchases were made for business purposes and not for personal use. However, you must have a valid VAT invoice or receipt to claim back the VAT.

How often should I file my tax return as an interior designer?

As a self-employed interior designer, you are required to file your tax return with HMRC once a year, by the deadline of 31st January following the end of the tax year. You may also be required to make interim payments towards your tax bill throughout the year if your tax liability is more than £1,000.

Very professional, punctual, and customer oriented. My previous accountant was not very flexible and was overcharging me. I've been working with London Accountants for one financial period and they provide me with everything I was missing. I appreciate their support in managing my company accounts, in particular, their professional knowledge, ability to cope with the a lot of work in a short time period as well as the fact they kept agreed fees despite slightly different expectations.
