Is your contractor tax setup costing you money?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where your compliance stands and what to do next.
What I handle on your behalf
From your annual accounts to monthly payroll, I cover the full compliance picture for UK contractors operating through a limited company.
Limited Company Accounts and Corporation Tax
I prepare your year-end accounts and corporation tax return and file everything with Companies House and HMRC on time. As a director, the compliance is your legal responsibility — I make sure it is dealt with accurately and without fuss. You will know exactly what you owe and when, well in advance.
Annual compliance coveredDividend and Salary Planning
Most contractors pay themselves a mix of salary and dividends to reduce their overall tax bill. I work out the right split for your income level each year and explain the reasoning in plain English. This is one of the most consistent ways contractors reduce what they pay to HMRC legally.
Tax planning includedVAT Returns and Making Tax Digital
If your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold, or you choose to register voluntarily, I handle your quarterly VAT returns and MTD-compliant submissions. I also assess whether a flat rate or standard VAT scheme makes more financial sense for your contract setup. Everything is filed on time, every time.
MTD compliantWhy clients come back every year
Contractors stay with me because they get straight answers quickly and their tax is handled by someone who knows their situation.
You always speak to me directly
I run Anchor personally. There are no junior staff and no handoffs. When you call or email, you get me — the person who knows your numbers. For contractors who want a real relationship with their accountant, not a different voice every time, this matters.
Fixed fees, nothing hidden
You know what you pay before we start. I do not charge by the hour or add surprise bills when you ask a question. Fixed monthly fees mean you can budget properly and ring me whenever something comes up without worrying about the clock.
