Frequently asked questions
Why do contractors need a specialist accountant?
Contractors face IR35 rules, dividend taxation, umbrella payroll and complex expense claims that general accountants may not handle routinely. A specialist understands limited company structures, optimal salary and dividend mixes, and HMRC compliance for contract work. This reduces risk of penalties, ensures accurate filings and often improves take-home pay through legitimate tax planning.
What qualifications should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for ACCA, ICAEW or AAT accreditation, as these bodies regulate members and require ongoing professional development. Also check experience with IR35, VAT and Corporation Tax, plus familiarity with contractor-specific software. Membership of a recognised body gives assurance that your accountant meets ethical and technical standards expected by HMRC.
How much do contractor accountants typically charge?
Fees vary by service level, but most contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages covering bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns and year-end accounts. Prices often range from affordable entry-level packages to premium services including IR35 reviews and tax planning. Compare quotes carefully and confirm what is included before committing, as cheap options may exclude essential filings.
Can an accountant help with Self Assessment and HMRC correspondence?
Yes. A qualified accountant prepares and files your Self Assessment return, calculates liabilities accurately and submits payments on time. They also handle HMRC enquiries, penalty appeals and compliance checks on your behalf. This saves you time, reduces stress and ensures correspondence is answered professionally, lowering the risk of escalating issues with HMRC.
What is IR35 and why does it matter for contractors?
IR35 is legislation determining whether a contractor is effectively an employee for tax purposes. If caught, you may pay additional income tax and National Insurance. A specialist accountant reviews contracts, working practices and status tests to assess risk and recommend compliant arrangements, helping you avoid unexpected HMRC liabilities.
How do I choose the right accountant in Faringdon?
Start by browsing verified firms on AccountingFirms, comparing accreditation, contractor experience, fees and client reviews. Ask about IR35 support, software compatibility and response times. Request an initial consultation to assess communication style and understanding of your industry. A good fit combines technical expertise, transparent pricing and proactive advice tailored to your contracting business.
