Hi ,
when I started contracting I chose the option of using an umbrella company, it seemed simple and to be honest I was being a bit lazy. I got the name of a company from the PCG recomended companies page, got a quote and signed up with them.This has been working fine but I have now decided to change to a Ltd company .
I recently came across some articles on contracting websites that lead me to believe that the company I used was a type of 'Managed Service Company', which Inland Revenue are starting to target for tax avoidance. I was wondering if anyone has been hit by this and should i be expecting a tax bill for the last years work ? Is this going to cause me problems with my new Ltd company or if i go back permie ? I am going to speak to my accountant about this as well but I wondered if anyone here had any experiences to speak of.
