Contractor & Freelancer FAQs
Do I need a specialist contractor accountant?
If you work through a limited company, deal with IR35 assessments, or need to optimise your salary-dividend mix, a specialist will typically save you more than their fee. General accountants may miss contractor-specific reliefs and structures.
How much does a contractor accountant cost?
Most specialist contractor accountants charge between £100 and £200 per month for a limited company package covering accounts, tax returns, payroll, and VAT. Sole trader packages are usually lower, from £50 to £120 per month.
What is the optimal salary-dividend split for contractors?
For 2026/27 most contractor accountants recommend a salary at the NI secondary threshold (around £9,100) with the remainder taken as dividends. The exact split depends on your total income, student loans, pension contributions, and whether you have other income sources.
