Frequently asked questions
Like any profession, YouTubers are required to pay income tax on their earnings. At Ocelot, our YouTube tax accountants have the expert knowledge to help. We’ll keep you to track all your income sources, create a clear picture of how much needs to be set aside, and when.
This goes beyond simply filing your self-assessment or tax returns correctly. We’ll ensure that you claim all the allowable expenses and reliefs that apply to your online business.
We’re not a general accountancy service. We’re specialist accountants for YouTubers. If any tax-saving opportunities exist in your field, we have the expertise to ensure you’re taking advantage.
No matter where your YouTube revenue comes from – be it Google AdSense, Super Chats, brand partnerships, or another source entirely – we’ll work with you to create an accurate record. This not only helps to manage your taxes but also makes it clear how your brand is performing.
As a YouTuber, various expenses can then be deducted from these figures. The difficult part is knowing the difference between personal and business expenses, and how to maximise these deductions.
As specialist accountants for YouTubers, we’ve got all this in hand. We’ll work through the process with you, helping you to understand the figures without the worry of paying too much or too little.
YouTubers make money on the platform through placed advertisements, the YouTube Partner Program, monetising their content, channel memberships, YouTube shopping, and monthly subscriptions such as YouTube Premium.
You can calculate YouTube income through YouTube itself as well as various tools and algorithms online. Here at Ocelot Accounting, our expert accountants for YouTubers can make the process easier by helping you track your revenue and monetisation accurately, so you’ll know exactly how much you’ll earn and when.
The amount of tax that YouTubers pay can vary depending on earnings. If YouTubers earn an excess of £1,000, they will need to register with HMRC and complete self-assessment tax returns. Youtubers will pay tax on their income if it is over £12,570.
Calculating tax from YouTube earnings can be complex; that’s where we come in! Our YouTube tax accountants will help you to calculate your taxable income correctly.
YouTubers pay taxes by filling out a self-assessment tax return. This helps YouTubers record their freelance tax bill as well as calculate the YouTube business expenses from the year.
Self-assessment forms need to be completed by the 31st of January online or the 31st of October by post each year. At Ocelot, our accountants for YouTubers will support you, making sure that you’re paying the right amount of tax for your business.
YouTube pays YouTubers from their AdSense account into their bank accounts through checks, Electronic Funds Transfers, Single Euro Payment Areas, and wire transfers.
To get paid by YouTube, YouTubers must verify their identity, share their tax information, select their form of payment, and meet the payment threshold. Currently, the payment threshold in the UK is £60.
