💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a limited company?
Most personal trainers start as sole traders.
We’ll review your profit levels and future plans before recommending if and when to go limited.
Do I need to register for VAT?
If your turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12 months, you must register.
Most personal training services are standard-rated (20%).
We monitor this for you so there are no surprises.
Can I claim gym clothing?
Usually no. Everyday gym clothing is not allowable for tax purposes.
Can I claim my gym membership?
Sometimes — but often it’s considered dual purpose. We review this case-by-case.
Can I claim mileage?
Yes — for business travel (not normal commuting).
We can show you the simplest way to track it.
Can I claim phone and internet?
Yes — the business portion. Many clients use a separate SIM to make this simple.
What about protein supplements and food?
Generally treated as personal living costs — not allowable.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
From April 2026 onwards, many self-employed PTs must submit quarterly digital updates to HMRC.
We make sure you’re ready well in advance.
