Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor look for in an accountant?
Look for a qualified professional with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT accreditation and specific experience in contractor accounting. They should understand IR35, dividend planning, and allowable expenses. Check they are regulated and can handle HMRC correspondence, VAT returns, and Self Assessment. A good accountant will offer fixed fees and proactive tax advice tailored to your contracting status.
How do contractor accountants help with IR35 compliance?
Contractor accountants assess your working practices against HMRC's IR35 rules. They review contracts, determine employment status, and advise on whether you fall inside or outside IR35. They can help you adjust your tax position, calculate deemed employment payments if needed, and represent you in HMRC enquiries. Their guidance reduces the risk of penalties and ensures correct tax treatment.
What qualifications should a contractor accountant hold?
A reputable contractor accountant should hold a recognised qualification such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. These bodies ensure members meet strict ethical and technical standards. Additionally, they should be registered with HMRC for Self Assessment and VAT. Membership indicates ongoing professional development, so you receive up-to-date advice on tax laws affecting contractors.
How much do contractor accountants typically charge?
Fees vary based on services and complexity. Many contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages starting from around £75 to £150 plus VAT. This usually covers bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, Self Assessment, and year-end accounts. Some charge extra for IR35 contract reviews or HMRC investigations. Always confirm what is included before engaging a firm.
Can contractor accountants help with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, contractor accountants handle VAT registration with HMRC, advise on the best scheme (standard, flat rate, or cash accounting), and prepare and file VAT returns. They ensure you reclaim allowable input tax and meet deadlines, avoiding penalties. They also guide on Making Tax Digital compliance and can represent you in VAT inspections.
