Frequently asked questions
What should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for a qualified professional with ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT accreditation who specialises in contractor tax affairs. They should understand IR35, VAT, and Corporation Tax rules and offer fixed-fee packages. Experience with limited company contractors is essential. Check that they can handle Self Assessment and provide proactive advice to minimise your tax liability whilst keeping you compliant with HMRC.
How do contractor accountants help with IR35?
Contractor accountants help you determine your IR35 status by reviewing your contracts and working practices. They can advise on whether you fall inside or outside IR35 and help you structure your affairs to comply with HMRC rules. If you are inside IR35, they calculate the deemed employment payment and ensure correct tax and National Insurance contributions are paid.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualifications?
ACCA and ICAEW are professional bodies for chartered accountants, offering globally recognised qualifications. AAT is a technician-level qualification often held by accounting staff. All three ensure high standards, but ACCA and ICAEW members typically handle complex tax and audit work. For contractor accounting, any of these credentials indicate a competent, regulated professional.
Do I need a local accountant in Mayfair?
A local accountant in Mayfair can offer face-to-face meetings and a better understanding of local business conditions. However, many contractors work remotely with accountants across the country. The key is finding a specialist who understands contractor tax rules and can communicate effectively. AccountingFirms.co.uk allows you to compare both local and national firms.
How much do contractor accountants charge?
Fees vary based on the level of service required. Many contractor accountants offer fixed monthly packages starting from around £75 to £150 per month, covering bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns, and annual accounts. Some charge extra for Self Assessment or advisory work. Always request a clear quote and confirm what is included before engaging a firm.
Can contractor accountants help with HMRC investigations?
Yes, qualified contractor accountants can represent you in dealings with HMRC, including compliance checks and investigations. They can prepare responses, negotiate on your behalf, and ensure your rights are protected. Having a professional handle an enquiry reduces stress and helps achieve a fair outcome. Some firms offer fee protection insurance to cover the cost of investigation support.
