FAQ
Sole trader questions, answered.
Clear answers before you decide what support is right for you.
How much does a sole trader accountant cost?
Core is £39 a month if Making Tax Digital doesn’t apply to you yet. MTD Managed is £69 a month. If you’re VAT registered, Plus is £109 a month.
Are MTD quarterly updates included?
Yes, in MTD Managed (£69 a month). We prepare and send your four quarterly updates, provide the MTD software and do your year-end final declaration. There’s a one-off MTD setup charge of £75. Core doesn’t include quarterly updates.
Is an SA302 the same as my tax return?
No. An SA302 is HMRC’s calculation of your tax. It isn’t the Self Assessment tax return itself.
