Moving from permanent employee to contractor
Working as a contractor has advantages over working as an employee including greater job satisfaction and more take-home pay. Note that a contractor has ‘contracts’ for jobs that are to be undertaken and contractors are bound to complete all work promised to the client under this contract. However, the contracting rules can make it incredibly complicated and specialist advice should be sought.Contractor Business Model
The key decision when starting out as a contractor is to decide what type of business model you will follow. This is an important choice as it will affect how much tax you will eventually pay. Our expert contractor accountants can advise you on the best options.Limited Company
A limited company gives contractors “limited” liability which means that they are not personally liable for any financial difficulties faced by the company. The company is a separate legal entity i.e. if your company goes bankrupt your personal assets will not be affected. A limited company can claim business expenses which can include equipment, mileage allowance, business trips, stationary etc. Business expenses are deducted from the company’s profit meaning that you will end up paying less tax at the end of each tax year. Note that a Limited company also pays Corporation Tax.Partnership
When two or more people work together as a single company – similar to a sole trader structure.Sole Trader
The easiest and most straight forward option for contractors as there is no separation between you and the business and all profits are yours. Note that clients are less likely to work with contractors who are sole traders though.Umbrella Company
An umbrella company deals with things like sending invoices and chasing payments making you, the contractor, an employee of this company. It is a simple solution for contractors but you will pay higher taxes due to the fact that you are an employee and not a contractor.Advantages and Disadvantages of Contracting
