Carolyn Walsh

With over twenty years’ experience in the sector, Carolyn assists freelancers, contractors, agency and umbrella company workers, interpreting tax legislation and guidance with a no-nonsense approach.

Previously, she worked for HM Revenue & Customs and in 2004, was invited to become a stakeholder in all consultation processes relating to tax and the employment status of workers, and the various schemes promoted to them.

She is the managing director of Andraste Accounting Ltd, which provides accountancy services to small businesses and also Oblako Ltd, which advises agency workers on tax compliance and managing an HMRC investigation.

Contractors should look (at these figures) before they leap into an umbrella company before April 6th.

All eyes are on new laws, but it’s the 2007 MSC rules that are costing contractors many thousands.   

Now's the time for middle ground contractors to stand fast.
