Frequently asked questions
Why do contractors need specialist accountants rather than a general practitioner?
Contractors face rules that general accountants may rarely encounter, including IR35 status assessments, deemed employment payments and complex dividend versus salary planning. A specialist understands how to structure remuneration efficiently, claim legitimate expenses and prepare accurate tax returns. This reduces the risk of HMRC enquiries and helps contractors retain more income whilst staying fully compliant with current legislation.
What qualifications should I look for when comparing accountants?
Look for membership of a recognised professional body such as ACCA, ICAEW or AAT. These credentials confirm that the accountant has passed rigorous examinations, follows a code of ethics and undertakes continuing professional development. Regulated professionals also carry professional indemnity insurance, giving clients recourse if something goes wrong with tax returns or advice.
How does IR35 affect contractors working through a limited company?
IR35 determines whether a contractor working through an intermediary is effectively an employee for tax purposes. If a contract falls inside IR35, income tax and National Insurance must be calculated as if the worker were employed. Accountants assess working practices, review contracts and advise on compliant arrangements, helping contractors avoid unexpected HMRC liabilities.
Can an accountant handle VAT and Making Tax Digital requirements?
Yes. Qualified accountants manage VAT registration, prepare and submit returns through compatible software, and ensure Making Tax Digital obligations are met. They also advise on schemes such as flat rate or cash accounting, which can simplify administration and improve cash flow for contractors with varied turnover or significant business expenses.
What is included in a typical contractor accounting service?
Most contractor packages cover company formation, bookkeeping, payroll, dividend planning, VAT returns, annual accounts and Corporation Tax filing. Self Assessment tax returns for directors are usually included. Some firms also offer IR35 contract reviews, expense guidance and HMRC correspondence handling. It is worth comparing exactly what each provider includes before deciding.
How do I choose between accounting firms listed on a directory?
Start by checking credentials, then compare specialisms, software compatibility, response times and fees. Read client feedback where available and ask about IR35 experience, VAT handling and Self Assessment support. Shortlist two or three firms, request quotes and choose the one whose communication style and pricing structure suit your circumstances and long-term plans.
