How much do you pay for your accountant?

[lucyclarityumbrella]

You could always prep yourself - and use a company that will switch at no extra charge between Ltd & Brolly dependent on the IR35 status - no names mentioned of course

£90 a month including VAT and Free Agent.

£36 a month including VAT with FreeAgent subscription. This does not include end of year, VAT filing or payroll. I pay £150 for eoy accounts each year.

[IR35 Avoider]

£900 a year inclusive of VAT.

Nothing after IR35 comes into the private sector next year

I did wonder if the agency would pay me as an individual directly, given that the reason main reason for not doing so in the past, liability for payroll taxes, would not be an issue.

What's happened with all the people deemed caught in the public sector, are any of them paid direct?

I'm assuming I will still need a company and will have pay my accountant out of income I've already paid tax and NI on. (Umbrella pointless as they deduct more than I pay my accountant for a company.)

They will but they will be charging you an arm and a leg to do payroll. Tons and tons of threads about it it in the Erm... Public Sector IR35 thread why not go read up on it.

I realise these are all quite old now but there does seem to be a large spread. Are all these for a limited company, with a single director/employee?
I was paying around £150/month for one of larger ones, but I have recently left and was going for a local guy, but not sure now.

£85+VAT fwiw
