Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor look for in an accountant?
A contractor should look for an accountant with specific experience in contractor tax matters, such as IR35 and limited company accounts. Qualifications like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT indicate a high level of professionalism and technical knowledge. It is also important to check that the accountant is regulated and can provide references from other contractors.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance?
An accountant ensures that all tax returns and payments are submitted accurately and on time to HMRC. They can advise on allowable expenses, VAT registration, and Corporation Tax obligations. By keeping up to date with changing legislation, they help contractors avoid penalties and take advantage of available reliefs and allowances.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualifications?
ACCA and ICAEW are professional bodies for chartered certified and chartered accountants, respectively, offering globally recognised qualifications. AAT is an association for accounting technicians, focusing on practical skills. All three ensure members meet strict ethical and technical standards, but they cater to different levels of experience and specialisation.
Do contractors need to register for VAT?
Contractors must register for VAT if their taxable turnover exceeds the threshold set by HMRC. Some contractors choose to register voluntarily to reclaim input VAT. An accountant can advise on whether voluntary registration is beneficial and help with quarterly VAT returns and Making Tax Digital compliance.
How often do contractors need to file a Self Assessment tax return?
Contractors typically need to file a Self Assessment tax return once a year, by the deadline of 31 January following the end of the tax year. Payments on account may also be required. An accountant can ensure that all income and expenses are correctly reported and that any tax liabilities are calculated accurately.
Can an accountant help with IR35 compliance?
Yes, an accountant can assess your working arrangements and help determine whether you fall inside or outside IR35. They can review contracts and provide advice on how to structure your engagements to comply with the off-payroll working rules. This helps contractors avoid unexpected tax liabilities and penalties from HMRC.
