Sound familiar?
Not sure if your contracts actually pass IR35?
Most contractors operating through a limited company in Torbay have heard of IR35 but fewer have had their contracts properly assessed against the current rules. The legislation is specific about control, substitution and mutuality of obligation — and HMRC is not generous in interpreting ambiguity. A contract that looks outside IR35 on paper can still fail if the working arrangements tell a different story.
- Contracts never formally assessed against IR35 criteria — just assumed to be fine
- Working practices differ from what the contract says, creating a paper trail risk
- No documentation in place if HMRC asks how the status determination was reached
What properly assessed looks like
An IR35 review is not just reading the contract — it is understanding how the engagement actually works and whether the written terms hold up. You get a clear assessment, a documented rationale and practical advice on what to address if anything needs changing.
- Contracts formally reviewed against the three IR35 tests with a written conclusion
- Working practice advice so your day-to-day arrangements support your outside-IR35 status
- A documented status determination you can refer to if HMRC ever asks
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices if your circumstances change
What contractors and self-employed say
Contractors and self-employed professionals across Torbay and the UK work with Daniel for tax clarity they can trust and advice that does not make them feel like a burden.
Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!
Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could.
IR35 support from assessment to ongoing compliance
Whether you are newly contracting or have been operating through a limited company for years, the work covers your status determination, contract review and the tax structure around it.
IR35 Status Assessment
Your engagement is assessed against control, substitution and mutuality of obligation — the three tests that determine whether IR35 applies. You get a clear written conclusion, not a verbal steer, so there is something on record if it is ever challenged.
Included as standardContract and Working Practice Review
A contract can say the right things and still fail if the day-to-day reality contradicts it. Daniel reviews both the written terms and the practical arrangements, and flags any gaps before they become a problem.
Included as standardLimited Company Tax and Compliance
For contractors operating outside IR35, the limited company wrapper needs to be run correctly — year-end accounts, corporation tax, director salary and dividend strategy. All of this sits within the monthly package, filed accurately and on time.

Clients come with different situations — sole traders, limited companies, time-sensitive deadlines — and consistently leave with considerably less to worry about.
Transparent Fees, Fast Turnaround, No Stress
“Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.”
Professional, Speedy, Nothing To Worry About
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Quick, Efficient and Genuinely Helpful
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
What makes the difference for contractors
IR35 is not a compliance box to tick once and forget. It requires ongoing attention as contracts change, engagements evolve and HMRC updates its guidance.
IR35 Assessed, Not Just Filed
Many accountants will help you run a limited company but will not give a documented opinion on your IR35 status. Daniel does both. You get a written rationale against the three tests — control, substitution, mutuality of obligation — which is exactly what you need if HMRC opens an enquiry.
Questions Answered the Same Day
Contractor tax moves quickly. New contract, new client, changed working arrangements — each one can affect your status. When something changes mid-engagement, you want an answer that day, not at the end of next week. That is how DG Accountancy operates.
Cross-Sector Experience That Earns Its Fees
Daniel has spent 20 years working across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment — sectors where IR35 and contractor status are not abstract concepts. He understands how different client organisations manage their contractor relationships, which matters when assessing how a real engagement actually functions.
Up and running in four steps
Most contractors are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to take as little of your time as possible.
Book a free discovery call
You will talk through your current contracting situation, how your limited company is set up, and whether your contracts have ever been formally assessed. No sales pitch — just a straightforward conversation about whether there is a problem to solve and whether DG Accountancy is the right fit.
Receive a fixed-fee quote
You will get a clear, written quote covering IR35 review and whatever ongoing compliance you need. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no surprise invoices when your contract renews or your working arrangements shift.
Onboarding and status review
Your Xero account is set up or tidied up, bank feeds are connected, and your current and upcoming contracts are reviewed against the IR35 tests. If anything needs addressing in the contract wording or working practices, you will know before the engagement starts rather than after.
Compliance on track, you focus forward
Your limited company runs correctly, your IR35 position is documented, and your tax is filed on time. When contracts change, you have an accountant who already understands your situation and can assess the new engagement quickly. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
What contractors usually ask first
Can you actually give me a documented opinion on my IR35 status, or just general guidance?
A documented status assessment is part of the work. Your engagement is reviewed against the three primary IR35 tests — control, substitution and mutuality of obligation — and you receive a written conclusion with the reasoning behind it. If HMRC ever challenges your status, you have something on record that reflects how the determination was reached, rather than a verbal conversation you cannot point to.
What does IR35 compliance support cost, and what does the monthly fee include?
Limited company packages start from £79 per month, with 50% off for the first three months. The fee covers year-end accounts, corporation tax, and ongoing advice including IR35 support as your contracts change. The initial contract and status review is included in the onboarding rather than charged separately as a one-off. Everything is agreed in writing before you start — no hourly rates, no surprise bills.
My books are a bit behind and I have never had my contracts reviewed. Is that a problem?
It is not unusual to arrive with bookkeeping that needs catching up and contracts that have never been formally assessed. The onboarding process covers both. There may be a one-off catch-up cost for the bookkeeping depending on how far behind things are, and that will be quoted clearly before any work starts. The IR35 review happens as part of getting you properly set up.
Am I locked in to a contract, or can I leave if it is not right?
There is no long-term lock-in. If after three months it is not working, you leave with clean books, filed returns and nothing owed. Most clients stay because the service is useful, not because leaving is difficult.
My engager has issued a Status Determination Statement saying I am inside IR35. Can you help me challenge it?
Yes. Since April 2021, medium and large private-sector engagers are responsible for making IR35 determinations, and contractors have a right to dispute them through the client’s disagreement process. Daniel can review the determination, assess whether it is well-founded, and help you prepare a reasoned challenge if the conclusion does not hold up against the facts of the engagement. The quality of the challenge depends on the evidence in the contract and working arrangements, and that is assessed honestly rather than optimistically.
If I am inside IR35, is there any tax planning I can still do?
Inside IR35 significantly limits the tax advantages of operating through a limited company, but there are still legitimate decisions to consider — including whether to continue through a limited company, move to an umbrella arrangement, or review your overall income structure. Daniel will walk through the options once your status is clear, so you can make an informed decision rather than continue with a structure that is no longer working in your favour.
