Accountancy for UK Contractors

Based on my experience as a contract electrical engineer, this book explains how to set up and run your limited company's accounts, from registering your company to completing year-end tasks. ∎ Registration and set up ∎ Routine transactions ∎ Payroll ∎ Dividends ∎ VAT ∎ Invoicing Expenses ∎ IR35 ∎ Year-end tasks I use free accounting software for my own business, doing the routine bookkeeping myself but using a budget accountant to prepare my annual accounts. This low cost balance between using an accountant and going it alone is the knowledge level that I aim to share. Other than a bonus chapter on setting up a cut price website, non-accounting aspects are not covered. This book is intended for companies based in the UK.

This book is aimed at practicing electrical and electronic engineers who must use AutoCAD Electrical software but who lack the time or money for a formal training course.

The chapters should be completed in order and form a worked example of a small, but realistic, electrical project. An estimated time is given to complete each chapter. The whole book should take about 18 hours with the reader able to produce professional standard schematics after about 8 hours.
