Frequently asked questions
What does a contractor accountant do?
A contractor accountant manages tax affairs for freelancers and limited company directors. This includes preparing annual accounts, filing Corporation Tax returns, handling VAT, and advising on IR35. They also optimise salary and dividend payments to reduce tax liabilities. Many offer bookkeeping and payroll services. Their expertise ensures compliance with HMRC rules and helps contractors keep more of their earnings.
Why should I choose an ACCA or ICAEW qualified accountant?
ACCA and ICAEW are recognised professional bodies that enforce strict training and ethical standards. A qualified accountant has passed rigorous exams and maintains ongoing professional development. This ensures they understand the latest tax legislation and HMRC requirements. Choosing a qualified professional reduces the risk of errors and penalties. It also gives you confidence that your financial affairs are in capable hands.
How do contractor accountants help with IR35?
IR35 rules determine whether a contractor is effectively an employee for tax purposes. An experienced accountant assesses your working practices and contract terms to determine your IR35 status. They can help you prepare for HMRC investigations and advise on compliant contract wording. If you are inside IR35, they calculate the appropriate tax and National Insurance contributions. This proactive approach minimises risk and ensures compliance.
What is the difference between a contractor accountant and a general accountant?
A contractor accountant specialises in the needs of freelancers, consultants, and limited company directors. They understand IR35, dividend planning, and allowable expenses specific to contracting. A general accountant may handle a wide range of businesses but lack deep knowledge of contractor tax rules. For contractors, a specialist is usually more cost-effective and provides tailored advice that maximises tax efficiency.
How much does a contractor accountant cost?
Fees vary based on the services required and the complexity of your affairs. Most contractor accountants charge a fixed monthly fee, typically between £75 and £200 plus VAT. This usually includes annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns, payroll, and VAT filing. Some charge extra for Self Assessment or IR35 reviews. It is wise to compare providers and check exactly what is included before committing.
