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, dividends, and limited company accounts. Professional qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT indicate a regulated and knowledgeable practitioner. It is also important to check that the accountant offers services like VAT returns, payroll, and Self Assessment, and that they communicate clearly and respond promptly to queries.
How can an accountant help with HMRC compliance?
An accountant helps with HMRC compliance by preparing and filing accurate tax returns, calculating Corporation Tax and VAT liabilities, and ensuring all deadlines are met. They keep up to date with changing legislation and can advise on allowable expenses and reliefs. If HMRC raises an enquiry, a qualified accountant can represent the contractor and handle correspondence, reducing stress and potential penalties.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualifications?
ACCA and ICAEW are professional bodies for chartered accountants, with ICAEW focusing on England and Wales and ACCA having a global reach. AAT is an association for accounting technicians, covering practical bookkeeping and accounts preparation. All three ensure members meet strict ethical and technical standards. Contractors can choose an accountant from any of these bodies depending on the complexity of their needs and budget.
Do contractor accountants assist with Self Assessment tax returns?
Yes, contractor accountants assist with Self Assessment tax returns by gathering income and expense details, calculating the tax due, and submitting the return to HMRC electronically. They ensure all relevant allowances and reliefs are claimed, and they advise on payments on account. This service is essential for contractors who receive income outside of PAYE or who need to declare dividends and other earnings.
How often should a contractor review their accountant?
A contractor should review their accountant annually or whenever their business circumstances change significantly, such as incorporating a company, expanding, or facing an IR35 review. Regular reviews ensure the accountant still meets the contractor's needs and provides value. If service levels drop or fees increase without justification, it may be time to compare other providers using a directory like AccountingFirms.
Can a contractor accountant help with VAT registration and returns?
Yes, a contractor accountant can help with VAT registration when turnover exceeds the threshold or when voluntary registration is beneficial. They prepare and submit VAT returns, advise on the most suitable VAT scheme, and ensure records are kept correctly. This reduces the risk of errors and penalties, and allows the contractor to focus on their work whilst the accountant manages HMRC obligations.
