IR35 Specialists
HMRC’s IR35 legislation has been a constant source of irritation and difficulty for limited company contractors ever since its introduction back in the year 2000. The then chancellor Gordon Brown introduced the legislation as a means of ensuring contractors were paying the right amount of tax and weren’t exploiting their limited company status whilst benefitting from the perks of full-time employment. Ever since then IR35 has adapted and evolved to the growing temporary workforce and contractors have been affected more and more by the legislation as the years have gone on. We have worked alongside IR35 experts since we began offering services to contractors and ensure that all our contractor clients have access to IR35 advice, contract reviews, support, and information, as well as elements of tax enquiry insurance.
Flexibility
No matter what type of agreement you are entering, or service you are engaging, no-one likes their contracts to tie them down. We offer our customers complete flexibility when they take packages out with us, giving them the freedom to pick and choose the services they require as well as being able to upgrade and downgrade their accounting packages at any time. We don’t tie our customers down to annual packages or rigid ways of working, instead our packages are completely tailored to you and what your contracting business requires.

Free Formation & Registered Office
If you’ve been looking around at accountancy providers, then you will have seen that most accountants charge a fee for limited company formation and them acting as your business’ registered office address. You’ll be very happy to hear that at QAccounting we offer complete company set up and a registered office address service, you guessed it, free of charge. You can rest easy knowing that if you’re new to contracting, we can take care of your company set up without charging you for the process and will manage your business’ post and mail as part of our registered office address feature.

Frequently Asked Questions
IR35 is the name given to the intermediaries’ legislation, a piece of Government legislation aimed at making sure anyone operating as a contractor is paying the right amount of tax to HMRC. IR35 has been around for over twenty years and is a cause for concern for a lot of self-employed professionals and can be a common deterrent for people even becoming a contractor. We would like to make sure our customers aren’t scared or IR35 but understand what it is and fully understand their own status. There is no reason why anyone who has the option to operate outside IR35 cannot do so compliantly and properly.
