Accounting & Bookkeeping for Contractors

On April 6th 2017 the new IR35 tax rule was made official. The goal for IR35 legislation is to ensure the people who benefit from tax savings are honest contractors while transferring those who should be ‘employed’ back to paying the correct PAYE payments. If you are a contractor affected by this new legislation, our chartered accountants at Tax Agility can provide help and advice.

Contractors are professionals in their field who work through their own limited companies instead of as employees of other companies. As a contractor, freelancer or consultant, you are your own boss. As great as that sounds, it also means you have to manage all of your own accounting matters, which can become overwhelming particularly when you’re already busy dealing with customers and projects. If bookkeeping and accounting are your top concerns, check out this page titled Accounting and Bookkeeping for small business.
