FAQs – Accountants in Canary Wharf
How much does an accountant in Canary Wharf cost?
Year-end accounts start from £499 + VAT and Self Assessment returns from £299 + VAT. Limited companies usually take a monthly package; we confirm the fixed fee in writing before starting. Get an instant quote online.
Do you work with contractors inside or outside IR35?
Yes. We act for contractors with their own limited companies and help with salary and dividend planning, expenses and record-keeping. We can also explain how IR35 status affects the tax you pay.
I earn over £100,000 – can you help reduce my tax?
Yes. Between £100,000 and £125,140 you lose your personal allowance, giving an effective 60% marginal rate. Pension contributions and Gift Aid can restore it, and we model the options for you.
Can you report share awards and bonuses on my tax return?
Yes. We report RSUs, share options and bonuses correctly, check the PAYE already deducted and claim any overpayment.
Do you have an office in Canary Wharf?
Our office is at 12 London Road, Morden. Canary Wharf clients usually work with us online, and we can meet in person by arrangement.
Can you help a fintech company with R&D tax relief?
Yes. Developing new financial software, algorithms or platforms can qualify. We assess eligibility, prepare the technical report and submit the claim.
How quickly can you take over from my current accountant?
Usually within a few days. We request professional clearance and records from your previous accountant and catch up anything outstanding.
Are you regulated?
Yes. Accotax London Limited is regulated by ICAEW and ACCA and holds professional indemnity insurance.
