The Contractor's Accountant - Making Contracting More Profitable
Managing your business as a contractor or freelancer can be frustrating, time-consuming, expensive and full of complex rules and deadlines ready to trip you up. Those were certainly not the reasons you decided to ‘go it alone’ and ‘be your own boss’. You wanted the freedom, the opportunity, the rich financial benefits and the chance to create your own work/life balance. We are here to get you back to where you wanted to be and ensure that you stay there…

Think Self Assessment is just about filling in the tax return?

HMRC also expects you to keep clear records of your income, expenses, savings, property and investments so your return is accurate.

If your records are missing or unclear, HMRC can charge penalties and interest and may ask to see your paperwork.

How Meades Contractors helps:
- Clarifies exactly what records you must keep
- Sets up simple digital or paper systems
- Checks figures before submission
- Supports you if HMRC asks questions

Ready to sort your records? Get in touch with Meades Contractors today.

Think your foreign income is outside UK tax? If you live here, that’s often wrong.

UK residents normally pay UK tax on overseas wages, rent, pensions and investments. Non-residents usually only pay UK tax on UK income. Since 6 April 2025, Foreign Income and Gains relief can apply instead of the old non-dom rules.

Ignore this and you risk unexpected tax bills, penalties, or missed relief.

Meades Contractors can:
- check your residence status
- review foreign income and gains
- explain relief and double tax rules
- handle your Self Assessment

Get in touch to clarify your position.

Think VAT only matters once HMRC contacts you?

If your VAT taxable turnover is over £90,000, you must register and charge VAT at the correct rate, keep proper records and send regular VAT returns.

Meades Contractors can:
- check if you need to register or can deregister
- review the best VAT scheme for you
- streamline records and VAT returns

Still think Child Benefit only matters if you earn under £50,000?

If you or your partner get Child Benefit and either of you earns over £60,000 a year, the High Income Child Benefit Charge can make you pay some or all of it back.

Ignore it and you could face unexpected tax bills, Self Assessment returns, interest and penalties.

Meades Contractors can:
- check your adjusted net income
- estimate any charge
- plan PAYE vs Self Assessment
- advise on opting out or restarting payments
