Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do for limited company directors?
A contractor accountant manages statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns, VAT submissions and Self Assessment filings for limited company directors. They advise on salary and dividend strategies, allowable expenses and IR35 compliance. Many also handle payroll, pension auto-enrolment and HMRC correspondence, ensuring directors remain compliant whilst maximising legitimate tax efficiency throughout each financial year.
Why should contractors choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications are recognised globally and require rigorous exams plus ongoing professional development. Choosing a qualified accountant ensures advice meets current HMRC standards and ethical codes. Regulated professionals stay updated on tax legislation, IR35 reforms and Making Tax Digital requirements, providing contractors with reliable, accurate and compliant financial guidance.
How does IR35 affect contractors working through limited companies?
IR35 determines whether a contractor is genuinely self-employed or effectively an employee for tax purposes. If caught inside IR35, tax and National Insurance must be deducted at source. An experienced accountant reviews contracts, working practices and status tests, helping contractors understand their position and avoid unexpected HMRC liabilities or penalties.
What VAT and Self Assessment deadlines should contractors remember?
VAT returns are typically due quarterly, one month and seven days after the period ends. Self Assessment tax returns must be filed online by 31 January following the tax year, with payment due the same date. Corporation Tax is payable nine months and one day after the accounting period ends. An accountant helps track these deadlines accurately.
How much do contractor accountants typically charge?
Fees vary depending on services required, company complexity and whether payroll or VAT is included. Monthly packages commonly range from modest fixed amounts for basic compliance to higher fees for full-service support. Comparing providers through AccountingFirms allows contractors to review transparent pricing, included services and client reviews before making a decision.
Can an accountant help switch from umbrella to limited company?
Yes. Accountants advise on incorporation, share structure, PAYE registration and VAT registration when contractors move from umbrella employment to a limited company. They explain tax implications, set up payroll and guide on dividend payments. Professional support ensures a smooth transition whilst maintaining compliance with HMRC requirements from the outset.
