Contractor Accountants

As a contractor you have the opportunity to take home more of your income each month, but it's important to make the right choices. Get it wrong and you could be facing a mountain of paperwork or even a fine from HMRC if you fail to comply with IR35. Get it right and you can enjoy higher returns and a life free of administrative stress.

Guided by the principles of care and compliance, ICS helps contractors focus on their strengths, remain compliant with IR35 and MSC legislation, and often increase their net income (see our contractor calculator for details, which is useful as a tax calculator).

We make sure we get the basics right - from ensuring you are paid the right amount on the right day, to always being available at the end of the phone when you need any help or advice from our contractor administration services team. As specialist contractor accountants we also offer a range of inclusive services that you may not find elsewhere, including professional indemnity.

We also work with a team of experts in employment and tax law to ensure our services are fully compliant with existing IR35 legislation and the latest government regulations. It's one of the reasons why we are asked for expert comment from contractor news sites like Contractor UK about issues such as contractor taxation and umbrella companies.

In short, we help you to enjoy all the benefits of running a contractor limited company, without the associated paperwork and organisational headaches. This means you can get on with your job without distraction.

Our range of services for contractors can be tailored to meet your specific needs and circumstances. This includes:

• Limited Company Service (LCS) - Get professional support running your own limited company
• Umbrella Company Service - Enjoy all the benefits of working as a contractor
• Sole Trader Service - Independence without compromise

You can find information about each of these services in our website, or try our Contractor Tax Calculator, which we launched after requests for a contractor calculator which can provide an indication of net pay.

We also publish a summary of contractor UK news, views and opinion on our lively ICS blog, which covers subjects such as contractor taxation, contractor salary advice and contractor accounting.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements, from contractor administration services and support with your contractor tax, to questions about umbrella companies or contractor salary advice.
