Frequently asked questions
What should a contractor look for in an accountant?
A contractor should seek an accountant with specific experience in contractor tax affairs, including IR35, limited company accounts, and VAT. Qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT indicate a high level of technical competence. It is also important to check that the accountant is regulated and familiar with HMRC requirements for freelancers and contractors.
How can an accountant help with HMRC investigations?
An accountant can represent a contractor during an HMRC investigation, ensuring all correspondence is handled professionally. They will prepare and submit accurate records, explain the contractor's position, and negotiate on their behalf. This reduces stress and helps achieve a fair outcome whilst keeping the contractor compliant with tax obligations.
Why is IR35 important for contractors?
IR35 determines whether a contractor is considered employed for tax purposes, affecting how much tax and National Insurance is payable. An experienced accountant can assess contracts and working practices to determine IR35 status, helping contractors avoid unexpected tax bills and penalties from HMRC.
What expenses can contractors claim?
Contractors can typically claim allowable expenses such as travel to temporary workplaces, professional subscriptions, equipment, and a proportion of home office costs. An accountant can clarify which expenses are legitimate under HMRC rules and ensure they are correctly recorded to minimise tax liability without risking non-compliance.
How often must a contractor submit a Self Assessment tax return?
A contractor must submit a Self Assessment tax return annually to HMRC. The deadline for online submission is 31 January following the end of the tax year. Accountants ensure all income, expenses, and reliefs are accurately reported, avoiding late filing penalties and interest charges.
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. They ensure compliance with HMRC rules, including Making Tax Digital, and help contractors reclaim allowable VAT on business expenses.
