Frequently Asked Questions

Are personal trainers self-employed or employed?
This depends on the working arrangements. HMRC increasingly scrutinises the employment status of fitness professionals. Key factors include control, substitution rights, mutuality of obligation, and financial risk. We assess each trainer's status, review contracts, and ensure you're compliant to avoid costly HMRC penalties.
Is VAT charged on gym memberships?
Yes, gym memberships and fitness class fees are standard-rated for VAT at 20%. However, certain health-related services may be VAT exempt (e.g., physiotherapy by a registered practitioner). If your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (£90,000), you must register. We advise on timing and the best VAT scheme for your business.
How should I account for membership revenue?
Membership income should be recognised over the period of the membership, not when payment is received. Annual memberships paid upfront create deferred income that's released monthly. We set up your accounting to correctly handle this, giving you accurate monthly revenue figures.
