Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor look for in an accountant?
A contractor should look for an accountant with experience in contractor-specific issues such as IR35, dividend planning, and allowable expenses. Qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT indicate a high level of expertise. It is also important to check that the accountant is regulated and familiar with HMRC requirements for limited companies and sole traders.
How can an accountant help with Self Assessment and tax returns?
An accountant can prepare and file Self Assessment tax returns accurately, ensuring all income and expenses are correctly reported to HMRC. They can identify allowable deductions, calculate tax liabilities, and advise on payments on account. This reduces the risk of errors, penalties, and unnecessary overpayments whilst saving time for the contractor.
Are ACCA or ICAEW accountants better for contractors?
Both ACCA and ICAEW accountants are highly qualified and regulated. ACCA professionals often specialise in business advisory and tax, whilst ICAEW chartered accountants are recognised for their rigorous training. The best choice depends on individual needs, but both credentials ensure a high standard of service and compliance with HMRC rules.
What is the difference between a sole trader and a limited company for contractors?
A sole trader operates as an individual, with simpler tax returns but unlimited liability. A limited company is a separate legal entity, offering limited liability and potential tax efficiency through dividends and salary planning. An accountant can analyse which structure suits a contractor's circumstances and help with Corporation Tax and VAT registration.
How does IR35 affect contractors and their accountants?
IR35 determines whether a contractor is effectively an employee for tax purposes. If caught, the contractor or client may need to pay employment taxes. An accountant can review contracts and working practices, advise on compliance, and help with HMRC investigations. This is crucial for contractors working through intermediaries.
Can an accountant help with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, an accountant can advise on whether VAT registration is mandatory or beneficial, handle the registration process, and prepare and submit VAT returns to HMRC. They ensure accurate record-keeping, apply the correct VAT schemes, and meet deadlines, avoiding penalties and cash flow issues for the contractor.
