Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions notaries public, dual practitioners and commissioners for oaths ask about specialist accounting.
How are notarial fees treated for tax?
Notarial fees are taxable. HMRC confirms a notary is not a public office holder. Fees are declared through Self Assessment or company returns. Legalisation disbursements passed to clients are excluded.
Do dual practitioners need separate accounts?
Yes. Solicitor-notaries must keep notarial practice accounts separate from their solicitor firm accounts. The Faculty Office requires this separation to maintain professional independence and enable regulatory inspection.
What are the client account requirements?
Notaries holding client money must comply with Faculty Office Accounts Rules with an annual accountant’s report. Most notaries who do not hold client money are exempt from this requirement.
Are practising certificate costs deductible?
Yes. Annual practising certificate renewal, Faculty Office fees, Notaries Society membership, CPE training costs and professional indemnity premiums are all deductible business expenses for practising notaries.
How are commissioner for oaths fees treated?
Statutory oath fees are earned in a personal capacity and cannot be shared. VAT-registered practitioners must account for VAT. The current statutory rate is five pounds per affidavit.
Can ABM support notarial practices nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves notaries and commissioners across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to sole practitioners, dual-practice notaries and notarial firms.
