Accountants for IT Contractors
Expert Accounting Services for IT Professionals
In today’s evolving tech landscape, IT contractors require more than just a standard accountant—they need a financial partner who understands the nuances of contractor tax obligations, IR35 rules, and the challenges of operating as a Limited Company or self-employed professional.
At MA & CO Accountants, we provide bespoke accounting solutions tailored to IT contractors, ensuring compliance, tax efficiency, and financial growth.
Key Considerations for IT Contractors
IR35 Rules: What You Need to Know
The IR35 legislation determines whether you’re working as a genuine contractor or as a "disguised employee." Non-compliance can result in significant fines and unexpected tax bills.
In the landmark “Dragonfly” case, HMRC reinforced that both your contract and the actual working arrangements must demonstrate independence. Factors such as control, mutual obligations, and substitution rights can impact your status.
How We Help You Navigate IR35
Our specialist accountants assess your contract and working practices to help you:
✔ Determine IR35 Status: Comprehensive reviews to ensure compliance.
✔ Evidence Preparation: Documenting due diligence to strengthen your defense if investigated by HMRC.
✔ Post-Assessment Guidance: Practical advice on mitigating tax risks and adjusting your structure if necessary.
Remember: Self-employed IT contractors operating as sole traders are not affected by IR35 rules but still require accurate tax filings and financial records to avoid penalties.
Our IT Contractor Accounting Services
Whether you operate inside or outside IR35, our tailored services include:
1. Accounts and Tax Returns
Preparation and filing of annual accounts for Limited Companies.
Self-assessment tax returns for individuals with PAYE, dividends, and investment income.
2. Payroll and Dividend Planning
Efficient payroll processing for yourself and employees.
Advice on optimal salary and dividend structures to maximise your post-tax income.
3. VAT Registration and Returns
VAT registration guidance, including advice on the Flat Rate Scheme for service-based IT contractors.
Quarterly VAT return submissions, ensuring compliance with Making Tax Digital (MTD) regulations.
4. Expense Management
Identification of allowable expenses, such as home office costs, training, and software subscriptions.
Tracking and categorising expenses for maximum tax relief.
5. Business Advisory Services
Assistance with choosing between Limited Company vs Sole Trader structures.
Guidance on investments, company cars, and other tax-saving opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I know if I’m inside or outside IR35?
We offer a thorough contract review to evaluate your IR35 status, considering HMRC’s criteria on control, substitution, and mutual obligations.
2. Can I claim expenses if I work from home?
Yes, you can claim home office expenses, such as internet usage, utilities, and a portion of rent or mortgage interest, depending on your work setup.
3. What’s the benefit of using a Limited Company as an IT contractor?
A Limited Company allows you to optimise your income through dividends, offers liability protection, and enables you to access business tax reliefs unavailable to sole traders.
Stay compliant, save money, and grow your contracting business with MA & CO Accountants—the trusted choice for IT professionals.
