Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do for a limited company director?
A contractor accountant manages statutory accounts, Corporation Tax computations, VAT returns and payroll for limited company directors. They advise on salary and dividend planning, review IR35 status and ensure Self Assessment filings meet HMRC deadlines. Many also handle Companies House submissions, bookkeeping and Making Tax Digital compliance, allowing contractors to focus on their work whilst remaining fully compliant.
Why should I choose an ACCA, ICAEW or AAT qualified accountant?
Members of ACCA, ICAEW and AAT are regulated and must follow strict ethical and technical standards. They complete continuing professional development to stay current with HMRC rules, tax legislation and reporting requirements. Choosing a qualified professional reduces the risk of errors in tax returns, VAT filings and Corporation Tax calculations, giving contractors confidence that their affairs are managed correctly.
How does IR35 affect contractors working through a limited company?
IR35 determines whether a contractor working through an intermediary is treated as employed for tax purposes. If a contract falls inside IR35, PAYE and National Insurance may apply to deemed employment income. An experienced accountant can review working practices, assess contracts and advise on compliant status determinations, helping contractors avoid unexpected HMRC liabilities.
What records should contractors keep for Self Assessment and VAT?
Contractors should retain invoices, bank statements, receipts, contracts and expense records for at least six years. These support Self Assessment entries, VAT returns and Corporation Tax computations. Accurate records also help accountants claim allowable expenses and demonstrate compliance if HMRC enquiries arise. Digital record-keeping is required under Making Tax Digital for VAT-registered businesses.
How much do contractor accountants typically charge?
Fees vary depending on services included, company complexity and the firm's location. Monthly packages commonly cover accounts, payroll, VAT and Self Assessment, whilst additional charges may apply for bookkeeping or advisory work. Comparing quotes from several firms featured in the directory helps contractors understand typical pricing and select a provider that matches their budget and requirements.
Can an accountant help if HMRC opens an enquiry into my tax return?
Yes. A qualified accountant can represent you during an HMRC enquiry, prepare supporting documentation and correspond with officers on your behalf. They will review the tax return, identify any errors and negotiate settlements where appropriate. Having professional representation reduces stress and helps ensure the enquiry is resolved fairly and efficiently.
