FAQs
We are here to help you with any questions you may have
Taxes on income are required to support important services. The NHS, social security, roads, defence, and education are some of them. Actors who earn a livelihood must also pay taxes on their earnings. It’s a moral and legal duty. What you pay depends on your income. Generally, the more you earn, the more you pay. The first £12,500 is tax-free, but after that, you pay a percentage of excess income to HMRC. Most actors pay tax either via self-assessment or Pay As You Earn (PAYE), where their employer deducts tax from their earnings at the source. Many are a mix. Acting jobs are often self-employed and involve self-filing. You must disclose all income to HMRC and understand how and when your taxes are paid.
Actors in the UK are usually self-employed rather than employed. The producing company pays your acting agency. It pays you after subtracting VAT and a percentage agreed upon in your agency contract. You must then pay your income tax, NI, and student loan instalments. Each year, individuals file a self-assessment tax return. When working for a company, your employer will deduct and pay your contributions for you.
Actors in the United Kingdom must register with HMRC as self-employed once they arrive in the country. You will need to keep a record of your profits throughout the year. You should also maintain a record of any costs linked to your acting profession. Using this, you will be able to compute the amount of tax payable. Most individuals file their tax returns online. When submitting your tax return, you will need to answer numerous questions that will assist calculate the amount of tax payable. You may complete your tax return, or you can pay an accountant to submit it for you. We are accountants for actors that specialise in tax returns for actors.
It’s a popular myth that child actors and other child entertainers don’t have to pay taxes. In the UK, income tax is levied on an individual’s earnings, not their age. Because children receive the same personal allowance as adults, they may earn £12,570 tax-free in 2021-22. The child must still register with HMRC and file a tax return. A child actor, like an adult, may claim tax-deductible expenditures such as airfare, union dues, and agent fees. However, Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance is not paid until the age of 16, so that’s one less thing to worry about. So, regardless of age, we are all taxed from birth to death! For further information on our child actors, please contact us.
Actors can deduct any costs relevant to their careers. This can result in tax deductions. Among the expenditures which an actor can claim are Business travel (e.g. fuel, flights, trains), Business hotel accommodation (e.g. legal fees) Business travel (e.g. fuel, flights, trains). Notably, certain costs are subject to restrictions. For example, you cannot deduct travel expenditures if you visit the same location for more than 24 months. Our Accountants for actors can assist you with your costs.
Actors often have many income sources, especially when starting out. This might range from working in a café to teaching acting courses. When you file your self-assessment tax return, you’ll also need to account for these other sources of income. Such sources of income may include:
- Employed work: If you are working for an employer part-time or full-time alongside your acting profession, your employer will normally submit tax on your behalf. You should get a payslip to confirm this.
- Another self-employed job: If you decide to take on any other self-employed employment alongside acting, you will need to submit tax on these earnings yourself. This may be done at the same time as completing your self-assessment tax return for your acting earnings.
- A foreign source of income: Have you ever had a job in another country? You will need to record any income on your UK tax return. Any income generated while working overseas may have to be submitted via a separate tax return for that nation.
- Investment income: Any income received from investments such as stocks or cryptocurrencies will need to be reported in your self-assessment tax return.
- Savings income: If you make any interest from savings, this may be taxed depending on the circumstances of the savings account.
- Property income: Money generated from any property (such as rent from a tenant/lodger) will need to be disclosed during your tax return. If you sell property, there may be tax reliefs that you are qualified for.
If you pay your taxes online, you must submit and pay by January 31st. Paper payments must be received by October 31st. Taxes must be paid by April 15th.
The UK tax year runs from April 6th to April 5th. Taxes are due by January 31st of the following year. If you earned money between April 6th 2020, and April 5th 2021, you must file an online tax return and pay by January 31st 2022.
