Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do?
A contractor accountant manages tax and compliance for freelancers and limited company directors. This includes preparing annual accounts, filing Corporation Tax returns, handling VAT, processing payroll and advising on dividend strategies. They also support IR35 reviews and Self Assessment submissions, helping contractors remain compliant with HMRC whilst maximising legitimate tax efficiency.
Why should I choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications indicate rigorous professional training and ongoing development. These accredited accountants must adhere to strict ethical and technical standards, giving contractors confidence that their tax returns, VAT filings and Corporation Tax obligations are handled accurately and in line with current HMRC guidance.
How much do contractor accountants typically charge?
Fees vary depending on services and complexity. Many contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages covering accounts, payroll, VAT returns and Self Assessment, often ranging from around seventy to two hundred pounds per month. Some charge separately for company formation, IR35 reviews or additional tax planning work.
Can an accountant help me with IR35?
Yes. Many qualified accountants provide IR35 status reviews, contract assessments and advice on working practices. They can help determine whether your engagement falls inside or outside IR35 and recommend appropriate structures or contract wording. This reduces the risk of HMRC compliance checks and unexpected tax liabilities.
What is the deadline for filing a Self Assessment tax return?
Online Self Assessment tax returns must be submitted to HMRC by 31 January following the end of the tax year. Paper returns are due by 31 October. Payment of any tax owed is also due by 31 January. Late filing typically triggers automatic penalties, so meeting deadlines is essential.
How do I switch accountants mid-year?
Switching is usually straightforward. Inform your current accountant in writing, settle any outstanding fees and provide your new accountant with authorisation to act on your behalf. The new firm will request professional clearance and obtain relevant records, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your tax affairs.
