What stage are you at

Some contractors start out by thinking an accountant is an added expense that they don't need.

We believe that hiring a contractor specialist accountant is one of the best moves any contractor will make.

It's obvious that this would be our opinion, but we're going to explain why it makes so much sense with just two reasons.

Compliance

If your run a Limited Company then you have a great number of legal responsibilities, from maintaining bookkeeping records to submitting year end accounts at Companies House to Corporation Tax returns, Personal Tax returns and payroll returns at HMRC.

By law Corporation Tax returns must be submitted online in a certain format along with specially prepared year end accounts. This means you will need to purchase tax return software - in the region of £400.00 + vat per year, year end accounts production software for £200.00 + vat per year, payroll software will cost £200.00 + vat per year and bookkeeping software £200.00 + vat per year. Already you will be spending £1,000 + vat per year and that is not taking into account the amount of time you would need to spend learning accountancy and UK tax law - the actual cost would be very high.

The 123 Way costs less, includes all of the above & a lot more.

Once you have the software you will have to spend days or weeks learning how to use it and trying to understand the incredibly complex UK tax system. For every mistake you make there are a range of fines and penalties that could cost you thousands of pounds - HMRC will not accept the excuse "I didn't know I was meant to do that" they will simply fine you.

On top of this you are more than likely to be missing out on different tax reliefs that you are entitled to claim - HMRC won't tell you about them - costing you even more money. DIY is not a good option.

Why should I pay a monthly fee to a contractor specialist accountant - there is an accountant round the corner from me?

Simple - accountancy and taxation is a very complex profession and contractor's needs are very specialist, your accountant round the corner will probably not understand all of these requirements and they will miss some of the tax reliefs that you could claim.
