LTD | SELF-EMPLOYED | CHURCHES | CHARITIES | PAYROLL | VAT | LANDLORDS | CARE SECTOR
Caring for others is one of the most rewarding — and challenging — professions in the UK.
Whether you run a care agency, work self-employed, or manage a team of carers, your focus is on people — not paperwork.
But here’s the truth:
Thousands of amazing professionals in the care industry lose hundreds of pounds every year simply because their taxes and finances aren’t managed properly.
At Leader Accountancy, we’re on a mission to change that.
🩺 The Care Sector in 2025: Growth, Pressure & Opportunity
The UK’s care sector is booming — and with an ageing population, the demand for carers, support workers, and agencies has never been higher.
But with opportunity comes responsibility.
Rising costs, strict regulations, and tax confusion often leave hardworking care providers stressed and underpaid.
We see it every week:
- Agency owners overpaying Corporation Tax.
- Self-employed carers missing expense claims.
- Payroll errors causing HMRC penalties.
- Workers unsure whether to register as LTD, self-employed, or join an umbrella company.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
💬 “I just wanted to help people — I didn’t know I’d need to be an accountant too!”
This is one of the most common things we hear from carers.
You entered this industry to make a difference, not to juggle tax codes and spreadsheets.
That’s where Leader Accountancy steps in.
We take care of the financial side so you can focus on care — the way it should be.

💡 Example:

We manage:

- Annual reports and year-end submissions.

💰 Common Tax Mistakes in the Care Sector
Here are the five biggest financial pitfalls we help clients avoid:
1️⃣ Not keeping mileage logs for home visits.
2️⃣ Mixing personal and business expenses.
3️⃣ Missing HMRC deadlines for tax or VAT.
4️⃣ Not claiming tax relief on uniforms and training.
5️⃣ Using the wrong business structure (PAYE, LTD, self-employed).
Each of these mistakes can cost hundreds — or even thousands — of pounds per year.
💡 The Best Business Structure for Care Workers
Should you go self-employed, work under an umbrella company, or start your own limited company?
It depends on your income, contracts, and goals.
Here’s a quick summary:
| Structure | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Self-Employed | New carers or part-time | Simple setup, easy to manage |
| Umbrella Company | Agency workers | Taxes handled for you |
| Limited Company (LTD) | Experienced carers or agency owners | More control and tax efficiency |
⚖️ Leader Accountancy can assess your situation and recommend the structure that saves you the most — legally and safely.
