IR35, contractor structures, expenses and limited company accounts for web developers, designers, digital agencies and technology consultants across North Yorkshire.
Working in web, digital or technology — whether as a freelancer, contractor or agency — involves tax questions that come up less in other sectors. IR35 is the most prominent: the rules around whether you're genuinely self-employed or effectively employed through your limited company have significant tax implications and are an ongoing area of HMRC focus.
Beyond IR35, digital professionals often have questions about what expenses are allowable, how to extract profit efficiently from a limited company, and how to manage the transition from sole trader to limited company as income grows. We work with developers, designers, consultants and digital agencies across North Yorkshire and provide clear, practical answers to all of it.
We assess your contract and working arrangements against the IR35 tests and advise on your position. For those caught by IR35, we help structure things correctly. For those outside it, we make sure the position is defensible.
Annual accounts and corporation tax returns for digital businesses operating through a limited company — including the correct treatment of software, equipment and any R&D activity.
For director-shareholders, the combination of salary and dividends is the most tax-efficient way to extract profit. We advise on the right split each year taking account of NIC thresholds and dividend rates.
Home office costs, equipment, software licences, training, professional development and travel — we make sure all legitimate expenses are claimed correctly without overstepping what HMRC allows.
Technology businesses developing new software, tools or processes may qualify for R&D tax relief. We identify qualifying activity and prepare claims correctly — this is an area where many digital businesses miss out.
As income grows, the question of when to incorporate becomes important. We help you understand the right point to make the move and manage the transition without unnecessary cost or complication.
IR35 is the question most digital contractors want a clear answer on. We give you one — based on your actual contracts and working arrangements, not generic advice that could apply to anyone.
Running through a limited company has significant tax advantages if structured correctly. We make sure you're extracting profit in the most efficient way and not leaving money on the table.
