Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do?
A contractor accountant manages tax and compliance affairs for freelancers and limited company directors. Duties include preparing annual accounts, filing Corporation Tax returns, handling VAT, and advising on salary and dividend strategies. They ensure HMRC deadlines are met and help contractors claim legitimate expenses, reducing tax liabilities whilst maintaining full compliance with regulations.
Why should I choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW qualifications indicate rigorous training and adherence to professional standards. These credentials assure contractors that their accountant possesses up-to-date technical knowledge and ethical oversight. Regulated accountants can represent clients before HMRC and provide reliable advice on complex matters such as IR35, making them a safer choice than unregulated bookkeepers.
How do contractor accountants help with IR35?
Contractor accountants assess working practices to determine IR35 status and advise on contract terms, helping clients avoid unexpected tax bills. They can review engagements, suggest compliant contract wording, and calculate deemed employment taxes if applicable. Their expertise ensures contractors understand their obligations and can make informed decisions about how to structure their work.
What is included in a typical contractor accounting package?
Packages usually cover annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns, VAT filings, and Self Assessment. Many also include payroll for director salaries, dividend paperwork, and access to accounting software. Some firms offer IR35 reviews and HMRC correspondence handling. Contractors should compare providers to ensure the package matches their specific needs and budget.
How often must I file a VAT return?
Most VAT-registered businesses file quarterly returns, though some may file annually under the Annual Accounting Scheme. Returns are submitted to HMRC, usually online, and payment is due within one month and seven days of the period end. Contractor accountants ensure timely submission, helping clients avoid penalties and manage cash flow effectively.
Can I switch accountants mid-year?
Yes, switching accountants mid-year is straightforward. The new firm requests professional clearance from the previous accountant and obtains relevant records. Contractors should check for any outstanding fees or notice periods. A smooth transition ensures continuity, and the new accountant can review prior filings to confirm compliance and identify any planning opportunities.
