Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do for a limited company director?
A contractor accountant manages statutory accounts, payroll, dividend planning and Corporation Tax calculations for limited company directors. They prepare and file tax returns, advise on allowable expenses and ensure compliance with HMRC rules. Many also assist with company formation, VAT registration and IR35 assessments, helping directors organise their finances efficiently whilst avoiding penalties and keeping more of their income.
Why should I choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications demonstrate that an accountant has met rigorous professional and ethical standards. Members must complete ongoing training and adhere to strict codes of conduct. Choosing a qualified professional ensures accurate tax returns, reliable advice on Self Assessment and Corporation Tax, and confidence that affairs are handled by someone recognised within the industry.
How do contractor accountants help with VAT and Self Assessment?
Contractor accountants handle VAT registration, prepare and submit VAT returns, and ensure the correct scheme is used for maximum efficiency. They also manage Self Assessment by calculating liabilities, submitting returns to HMRC before deadlines and advising on payments on account. This reduces administrative burden and lowers the risk of errors, interest charges or penalties.
What is IR35 and how can an accountant assist?
IR35 is legislation designed to ensure contractors pay the correct tax where their working arrangements resemble employment. An accountant reviews contracts and working practices, performs status assessments and advises on compliance. They help contractors understand their obligations, reduce risk during HMRC enquiries and structure engagements in a way that reflects genuine self-employment.
How much does a contractor accountant typically charge?
Fees vary depending on the services required, company complexity and the accountant's experience. Many firms offer fixed monthly packages covering accounts, payroll, VAT returns and tax advice. Comparing providers through a directory allows contractors to review pricing, inclusions and specialist expertise before committing, ensuring good value and a service that matches individual needs.
Can an accountant help me switch from umbrella to limited company?
Yes. An accountant can assess whether a limited company suits your circumstances, handle incorporation, register for VAT and set up payroll. They explain tax implications, advise on salary and dividend planning, and ensure HMRC is informed correctly. This support makes the transition smooth and helps contractors benefit from potential tax efficiencies.
