Expert Accounting for Contractors

When it comes to contractor accounting for businesses, it can get quite complex. It involves accounting tasks such as preparing annual accounts, submitting company tax returns and managing your payroll. Our accounting services for contractors in the UK offer comprehensive services that can accomplish these tasks for you, while you focus on your trade.

Contractors also face unique challenges such as IR35 legislation, which can affect your tax position and how you structure your income. IR35 is a UK tax legislation designed to determine whether a contractor is genuinely self-employed or effectively working as an employee for tax purposes. If caught by IR35, contractors must pay Income tax and National Insurance similar to employees, which can significantly reduce take-home pay. When you partner with us, our contractor accountants in London will provide IR35 compliance advice and tax planning to help you stay tax-efficient and avoid unexpected liabilities.
