I am planning on leaving my job next year to become a flying instructor offering a variety of aviation services although my primary service will be freelance instructing.
I am planning on doing a FI(A) rating and CPL in the next 12 months.
I have been advised to set up a company now and become VAT registered as I will be able to charge the cost of training to company and claim the VAT back.
As you can probably tell, I am new to this and so looking for some advice or recommendations for an accountant with knowledge of aviation that can advise.
How do most freelance flying instructors operate, do they set up a Ltd Company or operate as a sole trader?
TIA, Jacks.
