Who can benefit from our UK Accounting
Services?

1stContact Accounting offers a range of accounting services to UK clients
– our contractor accounting offerings can help you pay less tax and optimise your earnings.

Accounting for Contractors:

Individuals who are contracting in the UK - If you are working as a contractor or you are an expat currently in the UK, there are many opportunities to optimise your earnings through tax reduction.

Accounting for Limited Companies - Anyone who is self-employed and contracting, or is considering contracting should look into the option of working through a limited company.

Additionally, any new business start up may begin as self employment. Once the concept is proven and the enterprise grows it would be beneficial to incorporate as a limited company.

Working through a limited company allows the flexibility to pay salary and/or dividends, as well as retain profits within the company for use in later periods, or for investment. Working through a limited company also allows the opportunity to invest in a pension in a tax efficient way.

A limited company allows flexibility in how and when a client is paid, enabling the client to manage and reduce the overall tax liability.

Tax is often an individual’s largest liability, and one that does not bring any additional benefit, and therefore deserves to be given some close attention.

Salaries enjoy an initial tax free rate, after which PAYE and NI are paid.

Dividends – the net effect is to not pay any additional tax until the amounts received by the client exceeds the Upper Tax Threshold. (Dividends attract a 10% notional tax and corresponding tax credit.)

Corporation tax is 21%.
