Is there any sense in being conservative with how much tax one saves in order to avoid being targeted by HMRC for IR35 compliance?
i.e. does taking more salary and less dividends make it less likely to be investigated?
It's certainly one of the points made in an article on this site, but was wondering if anyone here does this.

Such was the warning yesterday from Bob Jones, an ex-Inland Revenue tax inspector, who outlined the typical appearance of a taxpayer the agency's IR35 inspectors might approach.
"Someone operating through a limited company who has relatively low turnover; is the sole director; has minimal expenses; pays [themselves] the minimum wage but has large dividends."
