Contracting in Slough can be highly tax-efficient or an expensive muddle, and the difference almost always comes down to IR35 and how your limited company is set up. Contracting can be the most tax-efficient way to work, or an expensive muddle, and the difference is almost always IR35 and how you are set up. Get your status wrong and you risk a large back-tax bill; get your structure wrong and you hand HMRC more than you need to. Add the limited-versus-umbrella decision, salary and dividend planning, expenses, and the year-round compliance of running a company, and most contractors want a specialist who simply handles it.
Your Tax Help Accountants works with IT contractors, consultants, engineers, creative freelancers and interim professionals across the UK. We review your contracts and working practices for IR35, set up and run your limited company, plan the most efficient salary and dividend mix, claim every legitimate expense, and compare umbrella against limited so your decision is based on real numbers. One fixed monthly fee covers your accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, dividends and personal Self Assessment, with one accountant who understands contracting available all year, not just at filing time.
If your IR35 status has never been properly reviewed, or you have defaulted into an umbrella without checking whether a limited company would leave you better off, a quick review usually pays for itself many times over, in tax saved and risk removed.
What We Handle
Your contracts and working practices assessed for IR35, your status explained in plain English, and your arrangements structured correctly so you are neither overpaying nor exposed.
Your contractor company run end to end: year-end accounts, Corporation Tax CT600, Companies House filing and the confirmation statement, all on time under one fixed fee.
The most efficient way to take your day rate out of the company, a planned salary and dividend mix for the current thresholds, properly documented.
A clear, numbers-based comparison of umbrella against your own limited company for your rate and contracts, so you choose the option that leaves you with the most.
Every legitimate contractor expense claimed, equipment, home office, training, insurance, and company pension contributions used to extract profit tax-efficiently.
Your personal Self Assessment included and coordinated with the company, so your salary, dividends and any other income are taxed correctly together.
Getting IR35 wrong is one of the costliest mistakes a contractor can make, an incorrect outside-IR35 position can lead to back-dated tax, National Insurance and penalties if HMRC challenges it. Equally, wrongly accepting an inside-IR35 determination can cost you thousands in unnecessary tax. We review your contracts and working practices, give you a clear and defensible position, and structure your affairs to match, removing the risk and the guesswork.
Recent Client Outcome
An IT contractor on a £500 day rate came to us working through an umbrella company because, when he started, someone had told him it was the simplest option and he had never revisited it. His contracts were clearly outside IR35, with a genuine right of substitution and no control by the client, yet he was being taxed as effectively an employee through the umbrella, losing a significant slice of his rate.
We reviewed his contracts and working practices and confirmed a strong outside-IR35 position. We set up his own limited company, structured a small salary plus dividends, and claimed his legitimate expenses, equipment, home office, professional insurance and a company pension contribution. We took over his accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and personal Self Assessment under one fixed monthly fee.
The move from umbrella to a properly run limited company increased his annual take-home by several thousand pounds, with his IR35 position documented and defensible. He has contracted through the company ever since.
