Frequently asked questions
Why do contractors need a specialist accountant rather than a general practitioner?
Contractor accounting involves complex rules around IR35, dividend taxation and allowable expenses that general accountants may not handle regularly. A specialist understands how to structure a limited company tax-efficiently, prepare statutory accounts and advise on salary and dividend mixes. This reduces the risk of overpaying tax or falling foul of HMRC compliance checks.
What qualifications should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for membership of a recognised body such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. These credentials confirm that the professional has met rigorous training and ethical standards and undertakes continuing professional development. Regulated accountants can also act as agents for HMRC, file tax returns on your behalf and represent you in correspondence with the tax authority.
How much does a contractor accountant typically charge?
Fees vary depending on the level of service, the complexity of your affairs and whether you require payroll, VAT returns or bookkeeping. Many firms offer fixed monthly packages covering statutory accounts, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment. It is wise to compare several providers and confirm exactly what is included before appointing a firm.
Can an accountant help me with IR35 compliance?
Yes. A qualified accountant can review your contracts and working practices to assess whether your engagement falls inside or outside IR35. They can advise on the most appropriate structure, prepare the necessary documentation and help you respond to HMRC enquiries. Getting this right protects you from unexpected tax liabilities and penalties.
What records do I need to keep for my tax return?
You should retain invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and details of business expenses. HMRC generally expects records to be kept for at least six years after the relevant tax year. A professional accountant can advise on the specific records required for your circumstances and help organise them efficiently.
How do I choose between the accountants listed in the directory?
Compare credentials, services offered, fee structures and client feedback. Consider whether the firm specialises in contractor accounting, whether they use cloud software and how accessible they are for questions. Browsing several profiles on AccountingFirms allows you to make an informed decision based on your individual needs.
