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 affairs, including IR35, limited company accounts, and dividend planning. Check for professional qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT, and ensure the firm is regulated. It also helps to choose an accountant who communicates clearly and offers proactive advice on tax efficiency and HMRC compliance.
How can an accountant help with IR35 compliance?
An accountant can review your working practices and contracts to assess IR35 status, helping you determine whether you fall inside or outside the off-payroll rules. They can advise on contract wording, working arrangements, and record-keeping to support your position. If HMRC enquiries arise, a qualified accountant can represent you and help mitigate risk.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualifications?
ACCA and ICAEW are chartered accountancy bodies offering rigorous professional qualifications recognised globally. AAT is a technician-level qualification focused on practical accounting skills. All three demonstrate competence, but ACCA and ICAEW members often provide higher-level advisory services. Contractors should choose a professional whose qualification matches the complexity of their needs.
Do contractor accountants handle Self Assessment tax returns?
Yes, most contractor accountants prepare and file Self Assessment tax returns with HMRC on your behalf. They gather income and expense details, calculate tax liabilities, and submit the return by the deadline. They can also advise on payments on account, penalties, and allowable deductions to ensure you pay the correct amount of tax.
How much does a contractor accountant typically cost?
Fees vary depending on the level of service and complexity. Many contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages covering bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, and year-end accounts. Costs often range from around seventy to two hundred pounds per month. It is wise to compare what is included, such as software, support, and tax advice, before deciding.
Can an accountant help me choose between a limited company and umbrella?
Yes, an accountant can compare the tax and administrative implications of operating through a limited company versus an umbrella company. They will consider your contract rate, expenses, IR35 status, and personal circumstances. This analysis helps you decide which structure is more tax-efficient and suitable for your contracting work, ensuring compliance with HMRC rules.
