This short video offers a short introductory guide to taxes for freelance animators. It was recorded for our students at Buckinghamshire New University, studying for their MA in 3D Animation, but it applies equally to all our students at Animation Apprentice. BNU can't offer our students formal legal or tax advice, but we can explain the basic rules of freelancing. Freelancing need not be complicated. You don't need a license to offer your services to clients and, as long as you pay your taxes to HMRC at the end of the tax year, doing small freelance animation jobs can be a great way to get started in the animation industry.
