■ FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS

Questions & Answers

UK models, stylists, and photographers can typically claim agency commissions, portfolio and test-shoot costs, grooming directly required for work, travel to castings and shoots, equipment, and a portion of home-office costs. In the US, self-employed fashion talent deducts comparable business expenses on Schedule C. We review your work to capture every allowable deduction and keep your tax bill as low as legitimately possible.

UK brands importing goods usually pay import VAT and customs duty at the border, often reclaiming the import VAT through their VAT return, while exports may be zero-rated with correct evidence. Post-Brexit EU sales carry specific rules. The US uses state sales tax rather than VAT. We manage registration, import documentation, and cross-border VAT so your supply chain stays compliant.

Most UK models work as self-employed sole traders and must register with HMRC for Self Assessment once income exceeds the £1,000 trading allowance, filing an annual return. Those working through agencies may also have amounts deducted at source. In the US, self-employed models report on Schedule C and pay self-employment tax. We handle registration and reconcile agency statements accurately.

Fashion labels developing genuinely innovative materials, manufacturing techniques, or technology may qualify for UK R&D tax relief, which can reduce Corporation Tax or provide a credit. Standard design work usually does not qualify, so claims must be carefully evidenced. The US offers its own R&D tax credit. We assess whether your projects meet the criteria and prepare defensible claims.

Fees earned abroad can be subject to withholding tax in the country where you work, but double taxation treaties such as the UK-US agreement generally let you claim credit so the same income is not taxed twice. US citizens remain taxable on worldwide income wherever based. We manage foreign income reporting, treaty relief, and withholding to keep overseas assignments tax-efficient.

UK self-employed talent files Self Assessment online by 31 January after the 5 April year end, while limited-company brands file Corporation Tax generally 12 months after the accounting period, paying tax nine months and one day after it ends. US federal returns are usually due 15 April. We track every filing and payment date across both jurisdictions to avoid penalties.
