5 Tax Tips for Sole Traders in Cornwall

Simple ways to save money, avoid surprises, and stay compliant with HMRC.

Cornwall coast

As a sole trader, navigating taxes can feel daunting. Here are five key tips to help you save money and stay compliant:

  1. Keep clean records from day one. Use a simple system for income/expense receipts.
  2. Know your allowable expenses. Travel, home office, software, training, and professional fees are common.
  3. Set aside money for tax. A separate savings pot avoids last-minute shocks (and payments on account).
  4. Go digital. Bank feeds and simple bookkeeping help you make decisions with up-to-date figures.
  5. Ask for advice early. A quick chat can prevent costly errors and highlight reliefs you might miss.
