      You shouldn't be paying an accountant who isn't up to speed with IR35.

      But as others have said PCG is good insurance.

          I had a random PAYE review at the beginning of 2008, what then followed was a three and a half year IR35 investigation which has only recently been dropped. So don't rule out an investigation even if you never put a foot wrong, and make sure you have tax investigation insurance otherwise HMRC will grind you down!

            Unbelievable! How much do you think a 3 1/2 year investigation cost HMRC?

            Tax money well (mis)spent.

            Well done for sticking it out and having the foresight to buy insurance.

            That reminds me...

              Who insured you and did they pay out with no problem?

              How much would it have cost if you did not have insurance

                This thread makes me think I'd better get shifted and get IR35 insurance sorted.

                  Just join the PCG with Plus membership and stop worrying about any of it.
