Synopsis

Most performers leave drama school, a music conservatoire, university and enter the world of Music, Arts, Media and Entertaining as a self-employed person, yet they have no idea of where to start with regards to tax and accounts. 
Do you resonate with this? Perhaps nobody bothered to sit you down to tell you what needs to happen, or the 60-minute chat was so boring that you simply switched off. 
Or it may be the case that the tax man has found you and started to chase you for a tax return, or worse still issued non-compliance fines and penalties. Have I struck a chord there? 
Although you can’t (ly) escape tax, you can make it much easier to deal with.  The Singing Accountant's Guide To Tax And Accounts  covers the main key points required to manage your accounts and tax, including: How to register as self-employed with HMRC and the advantages and disadvantages of being self-employed How to keep your records and what records to keep for your self-assessment tax return and the accounts to back it up What income needs to be declared on your tax return Tax deductible expenses for actors, musicians and entertainers How to manage receipts and invoices and what systems to put into place An overw of dealing with your tax return What is VAT and when you need to register What to do if you wish to be a limited company All the little niggly things you wish you could ask an accountant!
This book is aimed towards musicians, singers, actors, dancers and other performers based in the UK, although much of the content in this book is very relevant for people outside of this industry.
Louise Herrington is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales as well as working as an opera singer in the home counties and London.
