IR35 Compliance Devon

IR35 compliance in Devon, handled.

IR35 catches more contractors than they expect — usually because the status was never properly assessed, the contract wording was never reviewed, or the working practices drifted without anyone noticing. The liability is personal and the consequences are not small. Fixed monthly fee, ICAEW chartered, same-day replies.

  • IR35 status assessed clearly — know where you stand before HMRC does
  • Contract wording reviewed so your outside-IR35 position is defensible
  • Tax-efficient salary and dividend structure agreed at the start of each year
  • An accountant who already knows how contractors and consultants are structured

No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean books and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?

Not entirely sure where you sit with IR35?

Most Devon contractors working through a limited company know IR35 exists. Fewer have had their contracts reviewed, their working practices assessed, or their status confirmed in writing. The uncertainty tends to sit in the background until something prompts HMRC to look closer. It is entirely manageable — but the longer a proper assessment is deferred, the more there is to unpick.

  • No formal IR35 status assessment ever done — just a reasonable assumption
  • Contract wording that has not been reviewed against current HMRC guidance
  • Tax structure still set up without proper consideration of IR35 risk

What properly sorted looks like

Your IR35 status assessed against your actual contracts and working practices. Your position documented so it is defensible if HMRC ever asks. Your tax structure built around your confirmed status, not a best guess.

  • IR35 status clearly assessed — no more working on assumption
  • Contracts reviewed and flagged where wording creates unnecessary risk
  • Salary and dividend structure set around your confirmed outside-IR35 position
  • A fixed monthly cost that covers ongoing compliance, not just a one-off review

Kieran at Swift is super! He helped and bailed me out of the last minute panic of tax and Companies House returns. He’s on the ball, quick at responding, patient with me and got the job done stress free, plus his rates are very competitive.

What you get

What your monthly fee covers

Three things that keep your IR35 position defensible, your tax structure efficient and your limited company running without loose ends — for one fixed monthly fee.

01

IR35 Status Assessment and Contract Review

Your contracts and working practices reviewed against current HMRC guidance so your status is assessed on fact, not assumption. Where contract wording creates unnecessary exposure, it is flagged and you are told what to do about it. Your position is documented so that if HMRC ever enquires, the groundwork is already done.

Included from the start
02

Limited Company Accounts and Corporation Tax

Annual accounts, corporation tax return and Companies House confirmation statement handled as standard. Your tax position is visible throughout the year — the bill at year-end should not be a surprise. Filed on time, every time.

Fixed fee, no extras
03

Tax-Efficient Salary and Dividend Planning

Your salary and dividend split agreed at the start of the year based on your confirmed IR35 status, your personal tax position and what is most efficient. Reviewed whenever your circumstances change. No guesswork, no leaving money on the table.

Reviewed annually as standard

Why Swift

Why Devon contractors choose Swift

There is no shortage of accountants in Devon. Here is what is different about working with one who already understands how contractors and limited companies are structured.

📋

IR35 knowledge, not a lookup exercise

Substitution clauses, mutuality of obligation, control tests — you will not need to explain what IR35 involves before getting a useful answer. We work with contractors and consultants regularly, and the compliance picture is familiar territory. Ask a question about your contract, get a clear answer.

💬

Questions answered the same day

When a client changes your contract terms mid-engagement, or HMRC correspondence arrives unexpectedly, you need an answer that day. Not logged, not queued, not passed to someone less familiar with your file. Kieran reads and replies personally, the same day you ask.

🔒

One price, agreed in advance

Your monthly fee is fixed and does not move based on how many questions you ask or how many times your contract changes. No hourly billing, no ad-hoc invoices, no surprises. Your accounting costs are as predictable as your other fixed overheads.

Getting started

Up and running in four steps

Four steps from enquiry to everything being handled. No complicated onboarding process, no forms that require a solicitor to interpret.

1

Send your enquiry

Fill in the form on this page with a brief outline of your situation. Kieran reads every enquiry personally and responds the same day with a clear next step. No automated holding messages.

2

A short discovery call

Twenty minutes to understand your current contracts, your working setup and what needs assessing. By the end of the call you will know exactly what is covered, what your IR35 position looks like at first glance, and what it costs going forward.

3

We handle the setup

Your accounting software is connected, your records are brought up to date and your IR35 status is assessed against your actual contracts and working practices. You do not need to do anything except confirm you want to proceed.

4

Ongoing — nothing falls through

Your books are clean every month, your tax position is visible well before the year-end, and your IR35 status is revisited whenever your contracts change. Surprises are largely avoidable when the compliance groundwork is current.

Questions

Questions Devon contractors usually ask first

Yes. We review the actual contract wording and your working practices against the three key HMRC tests — control, substitution and mutuality of obligation. You get a clear view of where you sit and, where there is risk in the wording, what should be addressed. It is not a rubber stamp — it is an honest assessment.
It is more common than most contractors expect, particularly when a client changes the engagement terms or you move to a new end client. As your accountant, we review the position when something material changes. Your tax structure can then be adjusted accordingly so you are not paying the wrong amount in either direction.
Potentially, yes — but it is fixable. The starting point is understanding your current position clearly. We assess where you stand now and work forward from there. Historic risk depends on the specific engagements and how far back any exposure goes, which is something we can talk through on a call.
No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month’s notice. We would rather keep clients because the service is worth it than because leaving is inconvenient.
