Sole traders & Partnerships

  • Home

If you’re self-employed, whether as a sole trader or a partnership, it’s your responsibility to keep financial records and to notify HMRC of your earnings through a self-assessment tax return in order to pay appropriate taxes.

“I have been a client of Cooke Watts Ltd for over 10 years, entrusting them with my business accounts, personal accounts, VAT returns, and staff wages. Their punctuality, professionalism, and detailed reporting have consistently exceeded my expectations. Being a local firm, their personalised service and deep understanding of my needs have been invaluable. I highly recommend Cooke Watts Ltd for their exceptional accounting services.”
