48-hour quoteWho we file for
Platforms we file for
Each platform pays creators differently and HMRC taxes each one differently. We already know your platform's mechanics.
OnlyFans accountant
HMRC Digital Disclosure Service for late returns, discretion baked into the engagement letter on every document.
Fansly accountant
USD payouts converted at HMRC monthly average rates, same engagement-letter discretion as for OnlyFans clients.
TikTok Shop accountant
Seller Centre reconciled to your bank weekly so your VAT return reflects true turnover, not GMV.
YouTube accountant
W-8BEN filed inside AdSense so US withholding drops from 30% to 0% under the UK-US treaty.
Twitch accountant
W-8BEN filed inside the Twitch tax interview, Bits and subs reconciled to the bank monthly.
Patreon accountant
Patreon platform cut and Stripe processor fees treated as cost of sale, USD payouts handled at HMRC rates.
Substack accountant
W-8BEN filed through the Stripe Tax interview, paid subscription income reconciled monthly.
The process
How it works
Four steps move you from filling in the form to having us file your Self Assessment with HMRC.
- 01
You send us five minutes of detail
The form asks which platforms you earn on, the rough shape of your income, and whether you have filed Self Assessment before.
- 02
We send a fixed quote within 48 hours
We read your platform mix and your numbers, then price the work up front in writing. Self Assessment, VAT, limited company accounts and corporation tax are all quoted before anything begins.
- 03
We set you up on cloud accounting
Once you accept the quote, the engagement letter goes out and we get you onto the software. We already file for creators on the same platforms, so the setup is quick.
- 04
We file with HMRC
We run the monthly process, prepare the return, and file. Year two onwards costs roughly half because the setup work is done.
What we catch
Where our fee pays for itself
Six pieces of recurring work that almost always pay for themselves inside the first year on the return.
US withholding tax dropped to zero
The W-8BEN treaty form filed correctly inside AdSense, Twitch, Patreon or Stripe Tax drops your US-source withholding rate from 30% to 0% under the UK-US double taxation treaty.

HMRC's formal voluntary route reduces the penalty on unfiled returns from 35-70% of the tax owed down to 0-30% when the disclosure is filed before HMRC contacts you.
Read moreLimited companyThe Ltd switch, modelled both ways
For most creators the salary-plus-dividend route starts to win at around £60-80k of profit. We model both routes against your real numbers and recommend whichever wins after fees.
Read moreTikTok ShopGMV reconciled to your bank
Filing on the Seller Centre GMV figure inflates your tax bill by the platform commission, the ad spend and the refund credits. Reconciling weekly gives you true turnover.
Read moreScotlandSRIT bands applied correctly
Scotland sets its own income tax bands under the Scottish Rate of Income Tax. We file under SRIT first time, and reclaim if previous years were filed on rest-of-UK bands by mistake.
Read moreGifted goodsPR drops at fair market value
If a brand sends you a £400 skincare bundle in exchange for a video, that is £400 of taxable income to HMRC. We document the line so the position is defensible under an enquiry.

FAQ
Things creators actually ask us
If your question is not here, email us. Every reply comes from a person.
- We register you with HMRC and the UTR comes through within 10 working days. We pull what you earned across each platform you use, work out the trading allowance and allowable expenses position, and the return comes back to you to sign before it goes to HMRC. For late filers, HMRC's Digital Disclosure Service usually cuts the penalty rate from 35-70% down to 0-30% when the disclosure is filed before HMRC contacts you.
