Hey Guys,
Hope this isn't answered else where, couldn't find it if it is. So here's the scenario that's worrying me...
If we assume that in setting up the limited company i have done everything in my power to do it "correctly" and have bought the correct memberships and the correct insurances and in taking the contract i have done the sensible things like getting it checked for IR35 compliancy etc.
Now lets say 2 years down the line, Mr Tax man comes along looks at my contracts etc and after the necessary legal processes picks out my first contract as actually not being IR35 compliant... what happens to me???
I'm hoping the answer is going to be that they work out how much Tax is owed, i pay and thats that... Is that right, or are there criminal proceedings as well?
I suppose i'm really asking what is the worst possible scenario? (if we assume i have enough money to pay whatever the bill would be)
Cheers
