Frequently asked questions
Why do contractors need a specialist accountant rather than a general practitioner?
Contractors face unique tax rules including IR35, dividend taxation and allowable expenses that general accountants may not handle routinely. A specialist understands how to structure salary and dividends efficiently, manage limited company accounts and advise on HMRC compliance. This expertise typically reduces tax liabilities and ensures accurate filings, saving contractors both time and money whilst avoiding costly errors.
What qualifications should I look for in a contractor accountant?
Look for ACCA, ICAEW or AAT membership, as these bodies require rigorous training and ongoing professional development. Qualified accountants demonstrate competence in tax returns, Corporation Tax and VAT. Membership also means the professional is regulated, offering recourse if issues arise. Checking credentials ensures you receive accurate, ethical advice tailored to contractor needs.

What tax obligations should a contractor accountant manage for me?
A contractor accountant should handle Self Assessment tax returns, VAT returns, Corporation Tax calculations and payroll. They must ensure HMRC deadlines are met and that expenses are claimed correctly. Additionally, they should advise on IR35 status, dividend payments and pension contributions. This comprehensive support keeps your business compliant and tax-efficient throughout the year.
