FAQ

What people usually ask us.

Can a UK limited company earn income from teaching platforms?

Income that your company earns from marketplaces, schools and private students is recorded as company income. We match each payout to your bank statements and convert any foreign currency, so the books are complete.

Do I need to charge VAT on lessons?

It depends on your circumstances, including your turnover and the nature of what you supply. We review it for your company before you register and set it up correctly if it applies.

Can I count the cost of my equipment and courses?

Costs that are wholly and exclusively for the business can generally be recorded as company expenses. We capture them and apply the right tax treatment when we prepare your accounts and return.
