Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do for a limited company director?
A contractor accountant manages company accounts, prepares annual financial statements and files Corporation Tax returns with HMRC. They also handle director payroll, dividend planning, VAT returns and Self Assessment filings. Many firms advise on IR35 status, allowable expenses and tax-efficient salary structures. This ensures the director remains compliant whilst maximising legitimate take-home pay throughout the tax year.
Why should I choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications are recognised marks of professional excellence. Members must meet strict education, ethics and continuing professional development requirements. Choosing a qualified accountant gives contractors assurance that their tax return, VAT and Corporation Tax affairs are handled correctly. Regulated professionals also carry professional indemnity insurance, offering additional protection if errors or disputes with HMRC arise.
How much does a contractor accountant typically charge?
Fees vary depending on the services included. Basic packages covering annual accounts, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment often start from around fifty to one hundred pounds per month. More comprehensive packages including payroll, VAT returns and bookkeeping may cost more. Contractors should compare what each firm offers before deciding, as the cheapest option is not always the best value.
Can a contractor accountant help with IR35 compliance?
Yes. IR35 compliance is a core service for contractor accountants. They review contracts, working practices and client relationships to assess employment status risk. Many firms offer contract reviews, status opinion letters and support if HMRC opens an enquiry. With IR35 rules affecting both public and private sector contracts, specialist advice is essential for contractors operating through personal service companies.
What records should I keep for my Self Assessment tax return?
Contractors should retain invoices, bank statements, receipts for allowable expenses, dividend vouchers, payroll records and any HMRC correspondence. Records must generally be kept for at least five years after the submission deadline. A qualified accountant can advise on exactly which documents are needed and how to organise them efficiently, reducing stress when the filing deadline approaches.
How do I switch accountants if I am unhappy with my current firm?
Switching is usually straightforward. Inform your current accountant in writing, settle any outstanding fees and request that professional clearance be given to your new firm. The new accountant will then contact the previous firm for handover information. Most transitions complete within a few weeks, and a reputable firm will manage the process smoothly to ensure no disruption to your VAT, payroll or tax return deadlines.
